Default major tune up

Now that im working full time i have enough money to fix my camaro. I just got a new fuel pump and its on its way. I need a lot of new parts such as ; transmission, rear breaks, rear break rotors, wheel barrings, rear main seal. i wanted to try and get the rear main and the transmission done in a day, with 3 guys i was wondering how long it would take?

i would plan on it taking longer. would make a good goal though. are u sure its the rear main? rear intake manifold seal on these is well known for leaking down the back and lookin like the rear main is leaking. front will do it and make it look like the front main is bad to. have fun anyways.

now that i think about it with 3 guys that sounds about right. i guess it depends on how long your day is. lol. if u have done it before u can do it in a day. thats if nothing unexpected comes up. seems like a guy always needs that part right after the local parts store closes. lol. u can do it. ive heard of pros changing a motor in a couple hours. air tools and all.
