why do you want to put a time on that? a feel rushing putting a short block together is asking for trouble since you have to check all the clearances..
it also depends on your tools and experience.... without tear down i can have a engine swapped in a weekend with the right tools and a long block on hand ready to go in.
what is going to be the time killer is checking the crankshaft end play, crank bearing clearances, rod bearing clearances, rings etc.... why most pay the machine shop(including myself) to assemble the bottom end.... slaping it together is just going to cost you in the long run.....
