Yep, I did it.
Swapped my heads over to a built shortblock and installed. Completely by myself with no help at all.
Not hard at all if you have done it before and have a really good set of tools and equipment.
As a matter of fact, I have done every install and even painted my own stuff....I am just picky about my stuff and I cant afford to pay anyone to do it like I want it done.
