I figure about 6 hours work with lots of Timmie coffee breaks and afternoon venison BBQ

Myself...

Probably do not have proper tools (I have a 300+ piece toolkit from Sears, but no specialty tools), no lift, and I've never done headers before.

But it's not rocket science.

i think you missed my point.

i was saying the 370z is a piece of cake to work on compared to my twin turbo 300zx.

working on a ZX is all by feel. one rarely sees the bolts one is trying to get at.
once you get rid of the octopus sitting on top of the engine it's a little easier.

Oh, shearing off a header to head bolt would probably be pretty close.

mechanix gloves from one of the many auto parts stores for around 10 to 15 bucks will save those knuckles

But those eliminate the fun haha and besides you sometimes need to feel bolts and use your fingers, those would eliminate that factor too to an extent
