Less than one hour? I would get a 6-pack of beer to drink and watch them struggle with it for entertainement
Actually me and a buddy did mine in about 20-30 minutes total switching out my header. Lift + airtools = good

I did it in about an hour.

I remove the passenger side engine mount, and it slides right up. In some cases, you may need to "rotate" the engine towards the driver's side a little with a large bar and lots of rags to prevent damage.

100 bucks a car isnt reasonable considering no one has tools and it has to be done on the sidewalk? having to pick up the car from your work and dropping it off when it was finished? with less then 24 hour notice for people i meet once?

asura- you know im hella buff dont be jealous now buddy =) eat more kbbq? i eat it 5days a week man you want me to be a monster? we should bbq sometime.

If someone came up to me and asked me to do it, I'd probably ask $200-250 to SWAP headers.

Good luck!
