Throw a super kit on top, engine replacement on these only takes about 5.5 hours though. These and the V8 cars are insanely easy to work on and I have many personal best times on them, transmissions on the cars only call for 2.7 hours and my record in/out is 1.1 hours. Same deal with the GM trucks and V8s, it's the fords that are hellishly more complex and eat up a lot of time.
You are far from the average truck buyer though. 99% of people don't do engine swaps.
