I am currently in the process of having my 5th engine installed!
A typical shop quote is 16-20 hrs for a 1-to-1 engine swap.
There are usually a few more hours to do some prep work to the new engine before installing it like swapping the clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel from the old engine to the new and installing new spark plugs and oil/filter. But in your case, it sounds like all of that work was already done.
The shop doing my engine swap literally had it out of the car in less than 4 hours on Tuesday morning. They had to do a lot of swap work between my old and new engine so that was planned for today/tomorrow. They expect to get the engine installed on Monday and I might pick up the car on Tuesday. Total duration = 5 working days.
I can't imagine how a shop could have 60 hrs in an engine swap???
