Because of the boxer setup we will have 4 cam shafts and will likely be a PIA to get at. In terms of assembly and disassembly, it should be relatively similar to any other engine… Realistically the main cost of install will be the time a shop takes to simply get to the engine… If the FA20 is anything like the EJ (which it is) you will have to reposition the engine; either drop it, raise it, or pull it out altogether… tbh in terms of cost i wouldn't bother getting them installed by a shop unless you were getting the engine pulled anyway...
