Default how to swap pumpkins

So seeing as how I have a base Z, I got a used VLSD pumpkin from a higher model (from Jim from Turbo Toys BTW, who was really nice and gave me a great deal!)...anyways, I was wondering what was necessary 2 swap out the pumpkins, how easy it is, how long it might take and...where the pumpkin infact, is.

I have NO idea where it is, and no mechanical experience at all. Yes, I can jack a car, install a JWT Popcharger but, those are pretty self explanatory and one had instructions. HELP!

dont do this yourself!!! Its worth the 200 for someone else to do it!
BUT IF YOU MUST
It isnt hard but if you have no experiance at all it would be somewhat challanging.

its in the rear of the car, at the end of the driveshaft... unbolt the 4 bolts from that, the axles, take the clips for the speed sensors off carefully, the breather tube for, and the I think there is two nut n bolt combos to take off... takes about 2 hours~

Okay, I may have lied just a little. I know basically how to do the small things on a car. That doesn't sound TOO bad. Plus, I'm going to my friend's garage to get my car lifted to work on it.

Plus my friends going to help me, and he's done a good amount of work on cars, seeing how he worked at a gas station garage for a good summer. His uncle whose dealed with trannys for 20 years is also going to be there so, they'll know a lot. But just incase, I wanted some instructions.

Be careful its a heavy motha.

Be sure to have a torque wrench too so you can get all the bolts tight evenly.
