Good luck, and keep us posted. Are you doing the lower intake gaskets, too?
Even with those, it CAN be done in 1 day. 2 is more than reasonable. I've done it myself on Jseabert'* car twice.

Check out my post on what I found when I did the job last week.
Seriously consider doing the lowers and change that coolant elbow too.
That little elbow if it fails "will" get you stuck on the road.
