I will be swapping out almost all front end components on a 1979 Dodge Magnum for a customer, including upper and lower control arms, sway bar, shocks, steering centerlink. Looking for a ballpark number on how many hours it will take--I know there will be some minor fitment issues, the new parts are aftermarket. Just looking for a realistic estimate for the R&R work. Thanks.

According to my COLLISION database, it gives you 2.7 hours to overhaul each side or 5.2 hours for both.
Centerlink & stabilizer bar adds another 1.5 hours.
Add .2 hours to remove wheels.
Does NOT include wheel alignment, ride height adjustment,caliper replacement or adding for rusted parts removal.

I can email a print out to you if needed.
