It's a long job for sure, I don't like how long it takes with the connectors if you don't want to break any. I timed this on my car and it took about 5 hours knowing how it's done based on other ones, mostly for comparison of how long vs a turbo swap.

How many miles does the car have? That engine looks by far better than mine did when I did the valley plate.

The wiring harness is cheap to replace the whole thing. No sense in messing around with individual connectors and wires and putting a brittle harness back in again.

Also made a video awhile back on the intake manifold removal and installation. This will get you down to the valley plate
