You can definitely install an LS and T56 in 24 hours. However as stated you can easily spend triple that or more in wiring, mounting the ECM and fuse box, cold air, tunnel mod for the T56 ( I use the Speedtech tunnel cover and you can spend a full day getting finished up from start to finish) and figuring out radiator hoses and so on.

As I posted I spent 400-500 hours on my car after the DSE quadralink, minis, rear end, roll bar and the firewall was smoothed.

That's the reason for a very detailed all inclusive contract with the shop. If you agree to an hourly rate based on an estimate you'll end up getting hosed big time.
