chanh did his mostly by himself and i think he didnt even change his own oil lol. luckly he had the time money and support.

chan had someone helping him that had done the swap before, i think .

basic idea is, if your hardworking, have some money saved up, and have a few friends to give you a hand, you can do the swap. you just have to be willing to bust your ass, because its a fair bit of work and everything will take you twice as long when its your first time doing it.

I did the ENTIRE thing by myself in my driveway. Only thing that someone helped me on was actually lowering the engine in. Other than that i got it in and running by myself. The reason it took me twice as long was because after it was all in i had to go back and redo half of my work

Its do-able, and I couldn't be happier with how much ive learned so far

ALSO, take LOTS of NOTES and PICTURES, if you have problems we can help, but we would need your help to help you, thats where Notes and Pictures come into play , And make sure you have plenty of time, you don't want to rush this, make plans with friends/family so you'll be able to get around to pick up stuff you need(food, soap, that last spark plug...)and then make back-up plans for that, and then back-up plans for back-up plans etc...

Swaps are all about planning, research, and execution, since you were smart enough to ask, I think your smart enough to do!
