Search, there are a ton of threads on this matter.

In short, it is a day job to do the swap; if you have everything that is.

just read your thread on it....sounds like a job, but definitely doable...i need to decide if i should go through with it, or just replace my flex plate. thank you man, i appreciate it.

It isn't bad if you have someone to help you. I have done 3 swaps and the first was the longest at about 8 hours.

The hardest part you will do anyway just to replace the flex plate on your automatic. The hardest part is removal and re-installation.
