I want to do it myself & have the car on the road asap, but at the same time I dont want to fail & have people point & laugh & say I told you so

How long should it take me to:
1.Remove Engine & gearbox from both cars.
2.Split engine from gearbox on both
3.Remove clutch from knackered engine (only 4 months old) & fit to good engine currently with knackered clutch.
4.Fit new timing belt & oil service to new engine.
5.Reattach gearbox & Fit engine to car.
6-7-8-9-10.Clean up
Father seems anxious about how long im going to take over his drive for.
Also....how heavy roughly will one of the lumps minus gearbox be?? If I can do one at my house then transport it round to the old mans I think that will keep him happier, plus I can take my time splitting the shell & selling bits before I scrap it that way!! Everyones a winner
