Check my first time drop thread, im halfway thru a top end and clutch. Also a pretty experienced home mech, i bought $500 in tools for the job, that includes some pretty good comparison shopping and many trips to harbor freight. The drop was pretty easy. The rest of it is rather involved. Not rocket science and very rewarding but lotsa parts, lotsa googling techniques, probably lotsa surprises although ive been lucky so far, no snapped bolts or broken headstuds. Im budgeting between 3000 and 3500 inclusive of tools, mach shop, parts etc. will take me a month minimum, working an hour or two at night and much of every weekend, but its my first time. Also i screwed up the critical path by not ordering things like the engine stand yoke soon enough.
