How many hours to install cams?

I no longer have the time or space to do this, so I was wondering if someone had a ball park figure as to how many hours a shop would take to install cams in my 2.4 mfi?
Thanks

If its on the table and just installing cams and setting timing, about 3 hrs. If I have to take the old cams out and rockers, another couple hours.
