its really not that complicated. You do have to remove the steering rack so jack the front end enough to get the front tires off so you can slide the steering rack out later. Also dont forget to put RED locktite on your cam bolts or you will regret it. I dont really have the skill to make an entire write up but if you have a question feel free to send me a pm and Ill be happy to try my best to answer your questions.
My install took just over 12 hours. 10 one day and about 2 the next just buttoning things up.

It took me seven days. But I did everything on my own see below in the sig for what was installed.
I purchased the shop manuals too. They were a great help.
I didn't do the Russian roulet method with the lifters. I bought a 1/4 inch dowel rod from Home Depot and held my lifters up as an add sense of security. I didn't want one to fall into the motor and then have to go and find it.
It will help if you have a buddy help you too. An extra pair of hands are awesome to have.
In the manual you will find in the manual the the dots are suppose to be at the 12:00 position and the 1:30 positon, not the dot to dot method as in old motors.
