Default Tc Diy?

Any DIY's out there for a Torque converter install? How hard is it to do yourself? I'm considering upgrading my TC some time this summer, and was wondering if I can budget time to do it myself or if I should just figure on finding a shop to do it.

It's actually not that hard of a procedure.
You can check one of these sites for a breakdown on a rear end swap; You have to get to the same transmission removal stage for changing out the converter.
