motor swap

I've got a 302 and a 351 i'm gonna swap around this weekend, my thought is if it doesn't rain can this job be done in only 8 hrs? i mean i don't have a shop but have all the tools and most of the equipment that a shop would plus i have an extra pair or two of hands to help... i've got to replace some accesories when i swing the motors and change the transmissions around..given this do you think its feasible or will i have to make this a full weekend project?

Hi, your engine swap is possible but I would figure on a weekend so I could take my time and make sure everything is done right and all the bolts are tight if you rush through that is when things start to go wrong and then it takes twice as long. good luck what ever you decide!!!
