How hard is it???

I have a '76 280Z that I just got from my brother in law. He put a new head gasket on it, but didn't finish putting the rest of it back together, tappit pan cover, radiator, things like that.
How hard will it be to put that stuff back on, and app. how long will it take to do so?
Thanks,
Rich

Based on what I know about the work I have done on Z's, it shouldn't take long at all. It just depends how much time you've spent with the car, and how well you know where everything goes. If you work steady and do everything right the first time, you could probably get it done in a weekend. It all just depends on your skill and knowledge of the car.

Bolting on the valve cover and radiator and all those external parts is very easy. A couple hours at most unless you have to sit there wondering what a particular item is or you don't know where things go. The actual work is super easy.
