45 min to an hour of grinding. Just look at it and grind, then look again, grind, etc etc.

i don't have a couger mount though... i have a contour one and was curious if anyone has done it with a contour not couger like stazi has talked about grinding.

I did it with a contour mount, the cougar has a little bit less material to grind down. But literally, I do not recall exactly how it looked when it was done. Just do it!

did you have to grind off anything off the head? and did you grind any bolt holes off?

IIRC I DID have to get a non-ferrous bit and take a smiggen off the left head (if you are looking at the motor from the timing cover side)

2nd up from bottom. And also in the top sticky. You need 2 long bolts and 2 short bolts. Contour mount will not bolt to the 3L block. Different bolt size. Cougar mount is $32 from Jenkins.
 OMG I overlooked something....?!?! That sucks...so technically ALL 3L's in tour Have to have the 01+ Cougar mount...
