So sorry to hear this Alan. You have a lot of work ahead of you. At least you have the first hint figured out already

It's doable, I took two days as to not rush myself, but it can definitely be done in a single day.

I'd go through threads here and on the Vortex to familiarize yourself with the procedure. Get a good t-belt kit from ECS (or another merchant), that includes a metal-impeller water pump, t belt, tensioner, engine mount bolts, etc.
