Once you got the engine it should be pretty much a straight swap.
It shouldn't take to long. I had mine in in less than 6 hours. You are probably going to have to swap the computer also. I didn't have to, so I don't know how much extra time and money that will take. I wouldn't pay more than a couple hundred for the install.
the wiring is the only thingthat you should need help with. the zc drops right in. i did mine into an hf so the wiring was easy. but it took about an hour and a half from start to finish. very simple swap.
if you ever have wiring problems or any problems with your engine, call shad at abacus. i'm sure everyone knows this, but he really helped me out! w00t
