For the I - 5 engine
By the time I got done buying tools, pumps, idler pulleys, seals,
belts, hoses, filters, plugs, chemicals, sealants etc.  I spent about
what you paid for the car.  (alright some things I bought were
optional and just begged to be done while it was sitting all apart) 
It took me all day saturday and part of sunday after extensive quattro
list help.

The fwd 4 cyl "quattro look" 84 4000 I used to own required no special
tools and a couple hours.
