i have a friend that just did the same swap in a Monte Carlo and it took him a weekend to do the job in his front yard. anyone that tells you that it is a hard job to do or things may be different is full of crap!!! everything is bolt in. the shops you are dealing with are just trying to get you for your money. if you lived close enough, i would offer to do it for you at half the cost the shops want. good luck with everything!!!!!
