I completely agree with boostat4500. I think it took about 7 or so hours to pull the old eng/trans and stick the LS in, buttoned up and wired. This was by myself, in a carport. It took me longer to get it running, just because I can not leave well enough alone and I decided to replace the master cylinder/prop valve, brake lines, radiator, install dual electric fans, entire wiring harness, guages, tail lights. since I had the parts and it needed to be done.

I would buy the fuel pump and filters, electric fans if you want them, trans and engine mounts, have the harness reworked or buy a standalone, reflash/reprogram the PCM before I started anything, then start on a day you can devote the whole day, maybe with a friend and get after it. There is alot of help here and maybe if someone lives near you from this forum, maybe they would be that friend. I have never removed/replaced an engine before, I have seen it done but never have done it...I also am a computer guy so read whatever you want to into that, if I can do it, ANYONE can do it. just be well prepared dude! I wasnt, I had alot of problems with motor mounts and perches, but I got them figured out finally. It really was easy, especially with our trucks.

Good luck, btw where are you located? Anyone here reading this can you help him?
