When i threw a rod last summer, I bought a long block, and with a buddy, we had it done in 3 long days. Fortunatly, my pal had all the tools, and stuff needed to do it, and he's a mechanic by trade, so we probably did it faster than some.

Not really complicated, except the wiring and vacum lines. If your carefull when you take it appart, and label everything, it should go back together pretty quick. If you have any trouble, there is a ton of experience and knowlege here.

Good luck

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did.
