Thinking an hour to get the head ready to pull (coil packs, mounting bracket, valve cover, rockers and push rods off), maybe another hour or two to take off the intake manifold, hour or less to remove the exhaust manifold/cats and then an hour to remove the head, gasket and then the lifter tray and then reverse. So like 4.5-5 hours to get in?

Ah and draining the coolant/oil in during that process as well.

I was gonna say 2-3hours. But I have air ratchets.

They come in handy, just don't break anything putting them back on.

Yet...the Hellcat looks better.

Just my opinion, it's also the more comfortable car.
