So I’m going the generic mechanical work route. I’m a bit of a control freak so I only really work alone. I have the wife help with the hood, but that’s it. For a novice I’m not sure getting the car high enough is wise, but it does eliminate hood removal. So my advice is attention to detail. If it feels wrong stop and ask on here. No such thing as a stupid question. No rushing and no time estimates. Two bolts can take 2 mins or 2 days it lowers the frustration level if you don’t set time estimates. Like “I should be able to drop it in by this afternoon” Also if there is even the slightest chance you could be building another motor. I would buy some cheap measuring tools. Nothing worse than you put it together and it doesn’t do what you want. When you ask for help people will ask questions you won’t know the answers to.
