Message	and lower/raise the exhaust will shorten the time a bit but you need to account for rusted bolts, labeling bolts, and "learning" time. 2nd time probably around 6 or 7 hours. Regarding the height, I used jack stands that were placed on several bricks. You have to drive the car on a couple of two by twelves first so that you have room to get a floor jack underneath the front. Special tool: 2 18" extensions and a U-joint taped together so you can reach the uppermost tranny bolts. There is a DIY writeup in the FAQ section of this site that will give you an overview of the job. Hope that helps.
