It isn't many bolts, but you would need a crane. The engine is too heavy to just lift out.

Personally I would unbolt the gearbox first, just to make it easier. If you are doing it on stands you will need to pull both engine and box together.

How hard?

Not hard. But depending on what you consider hard?

Have you ever worked on a car before? I assume no because you are asking a simple question. So in this case for you an engine swap will be hard.

And comments in this thread won't ruin your passion as you fear.

Reality will.

Also is it legal to do so

Best to pull out box & gearbox in one go - loads easier, and if you're tight remove the A/C compressor and cable tie it aside but leaving all the hoses attached (so you don't need to regas the system), do the same for the power steering pump as well.

Unclip all the sensor plugs, etc..

motor out done.

leave the heater hoses until the engine is on the crane, easier to get to.

Just make sure you take time and don't tell yourself you can just remember where every bolt goes because that will be a headache and a half when the new motor is going in

its taken scotty a month to do mine

It can be done, but... just... gah. Enough little differences in my GT shell that scotty has shown me over the GTT one to make me jump on the 'don't do it' bandwagon.

It is legal to do so, at least in VIC, as I have done it.

You will need to at least have R33 GTST/R32 GTR brakes up front.
