It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

Real easy I've swapped 2 different sets of heads on my car this year... And this is coming from a guy that bought a mustang last year and didn't even know you had to press the clutch pedal to turn it on lol

I usually charge about 400, a shop maybe double that. It's not that bad of a job. Get your self a good manual and follow it. I'm sure there are some write ups on the swap.
