well Tom ought to be able to tell you all about it, but my second hand
experience says that if you don't run into any complications (unlikely)
and get the prep work done ahead of time and know what you're doing
that it ought to be possible.
my two buddies with the shop did a complete 350+auto trans in a weekend.
I think Tom's swap took around a week, without help?
but if it's your first swap, I'd budget two days at least.
just my non-expert, non-first hand expirience talking.
