It's not really all that hard. It's much like any other autrmotic front to
rear mounting V8. Except, you can pull off the front end of the car, and the
top starter bolt is a real pain. Also, you have to pull the bolts off the
torque converter, or pull the TC with the engine very carefully.
Probably took me about 15 hours the first time.
Why aren't you doing the work yourself?
