Question Pay of do it myself?

I have a 91 HB Si. that I am installing a D16Y8 block into. (I already have the Y8 head on the A6, but the A6 gave out and the head only has like 2k on it.) Should I do the work with a friend and I or let a mech I know do it for $175. From what I hear it's easy, but I have never done work on this magnitude before.

Either do it yourself, or watch him to do it. If you do it yourself, make sure you label EVERYTHING. Make sure your wired don't get crossed and you should be okay. If you just want to get it done, then pay him. But if you can do it, and have the patience, you can just do it.
