Default ya think i can do it???

this is just for fun....
for the red r/t

i got my new bottom end assebled this morning.....same block that got screwed up with my JE pistons, but its been fixed...bored .020 over, stock compression HP pistons .020 over, polished crank, new rings, new oil pump, new timing blet, new tensioners, and a new water pump....
otherwise the car will have:
crane #14's....BC titanium spring reatiners....crane valve springs...ported head....ported intake...shorty header...CAI...catco high flow cat...ARP head studs...and a megan UPD...

oh, im also re-installing the A/C

well,
the head is on the motor thats in my car...
after i got home from work today i plan on pulling the car in the garage...ripping the head off of my old motor, putting it on the new motor, and putting the new motor in the car...

think i can get it done in 3 hours???

i should be started around 5pm...i hope to have the car running and driving by 8pm[8D]

WOW - 3 hours

I can't beat that - the best I have done is a full day to pull the engine - rebuild it - and install it!
And that was a very long day and had already purchased all of the parts
