me and Goon9 did the swap... i actually let him do most of the work, not that I didn't have the ability to do it (i'd just swapped an engine in another 3rd gen a few weeks prior) but it was his house and the engine came from him so we just kept working on stuff until everything appeared to be together.. took us from about 3pm saturday to 10pm sunday with a few trips to the parts store and we stopped between like 8pm sat to 8am sun.. not too bad considering we didn't even plan to swap the engine on-the-spot. only thing we messed up was aforementioned vac lines, and we lost one of the motor mount bolts so we kinda had to make due with another similar bolt.
the other maxima, my friend's 89 that i got in may w/ a blown motor, took us from 8am monday all through the night stopped at 6am tuesday... and then from 6pm tuesday to 5am wendesday morning when it finally cranked. then we did the timing belt and water pump that weekend, and a few other odds and ends (since i bought the car not-running i didn't know what else was even wrong with it... there was a lil bit to deal with, to say the least) but at $450 how could i say no?
