I need to decide whether its worthwhile to get everything needed, for what I hope is a 1 time deal.

I'm in a HOA, so all the work has to be done in garage, so that's another issue.
Would rather not leave my other car in the driveway for the 3-4 weeks I see this taking.
I know that seems like a long time, but I have very limited time available with my work schedule and will only realistically be spending 30 mins a day on this. This all leads to mission creep.
As an example, it took me 2 weeks to relocate the battery to trunk and install the Borgeson box, I know most guys would knock this out in an afternoon.

Having said all the above, I'm still tempted to give it a shot.


If the engine/K-member/suspension cradle is ready, you should have a roller in a few hours. The chassis should have the upper control arm mounted.

Those pics of the Hemi Abody install were 1 1/2 hours start to finish.
