if i'd used the right bits i could probably have done it in not much longer than that. the actual removal of one engine and slotting in the other took me all of about 10 minutes. plumbing it back in putting everything back togther should take an hour or so if you work fast

Depend how setup you are with your kit. also if swapping from vtr-Vts will take longer than vts swap in/out Obviously. If everything is ready at a arms length then shouldn't take too long Seriously pushing it on your own for 3 hours. good luck 
Took two of us 6 hours for the full conversion and that was going for it. Were a few problems though.
Good luck
