Make that a pretty long weekend. I swapped the engine in mine and it took somewhere in the neighborhood of 24 hours work - and I'm a fairly fast wrench. Of course it wasn't a straight pick & replace - I had to take a lot of stuff off my original engine and transplant it to the donor.
But yeah, kingdoc's suggestion is a good one, and very do-able...
