It's very easy to get out, and back in. I have had mine out multiple times with all the 60e problems I had. The last time I had to tear it down to replace the input so it would mount up to the 80e. It takes about 20-30 minutes to get it out by myself. It took me 2 hours to take it out, tear it completely down, and put it all back together, not counting reinstalling in the truck(tranny wasn't there yet). A direct swap would be cake.
