The last one I did (a couple years ago now) was driven to my house at
about 6am, and was on the road again, with a new timing chain, quickie
valve job, a couple new U-joints, a new oil-pan gasket, and a transfer
case seal or two, by 2pm that same day.  You should be able to do just
the timing chain in a day, no problem, as long as you have all the parts
and tools you need before you tear into it.
