My engine is being installed by XK's Unlimited in San Luis Obispo. They say that the biggest issue is engine mounts lining up with the engine. They got through that in the last couple of days. The next issue is making sure all the electrical works, then the alinement is true. From there, they drive the car, make adjustments to the suspension (this is given the engine dyno'd ok), and it should be ready!! That's the stage I'm in now. Today SHOULD have been the day that the car was on the road!! (I won't know until later when they e-mail me their daily update on progress).
So, this stage should last no longer than 2 weeks (again engine is dyno'd) and the car should be ready!!
My guys say I could pick up the car this Tuesday (BUT I haven't recieved todays update yet--something you should ask your builders to do).
This is a long way of saying that the whole process is longer than what people initially think.

Hope this helps!
