To be fair, if the lad aint done it before, and doesnt have the right tools its probably more like an hour, rather than 10 minutes.

Re: engine swap
The engine i have is fully assembled inc carb,if its just going to be a case of put on engine mounts and plug in the loom then shouldnt be a prob. Is there any major issues when doing this swap?
