Head gasket job on the GE is a walk in the park. Wait until you do the TT with the stock twin on the car . Lucky me, I only had to do 5 of the TT with stock twin on

The total amount that I have done is probably over about a 3 year span, thats why it sounds like alot, lol...

On a GE motor depending on if you have a helper or not I would say in the neighborhood of around 6-8 hours (from driving the car in to having it back together) with a helper, little longer without. It usually seems a little longer if done in one shot just because my back gets sore and I eat lunch and then I start to get lazy

Stock Twins = Not fun to work with. I've actually never had to do a HG with stock twins on the car, I'm not complaining about that as I have removed stock twins before, just that is a pain.
