Hey guys, had trouble with the search function so thought i'd try a quick message on here.
Anyone got any idea what the book time to R&R an 80 series engine is?
I've got a friend of a friend who needs a motor replaced and wants a quick quote on doing it.
Any rough ideas on how long i should charge? I was thinking 10 hours to be on the safe side....
Cheers in advance!

Yeah just a straight motor out motor in.
Well that's the plan anyway! Figured with everything easy at hand i should be able to smash it out in a bit over a day.

A good day should sort it. I recently removed my engine/transfer/gearbox including tailshafts in 11 hours by myself as a reference.

If you believed 3 days or whatever he said orginally you need to look in the mirror but anymore than two weeks and he is just messing with you...
