just got through putting one in and it took about 12 hours to compleat from tear down ,clean up and putting back together. the job was on an 87 R-20.
dont forget to drop the oil pan a bit to remove the timing cover, and dont use the old lifters.

have fun ,great experience.

dont forget to mark the timing, or you will pull your hear out.
