It depends on many factors- any stuck nuts or bolts? - how good are you at wrenching? etc. If things go smoothly I would estimate 2-4 hours. MAKE SURE TO START SOAKING THE NUTS & BOLTS THAT HAVE TO COME OFF ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THE WORK WITH PENETRATING OIL! I like PB Blaster but there are other very good penetrating oils that are formulated to break apart rust. I would not drive it while soaking either or the oil gets cooked off & might even be a fire hazard.

To replace the water pump in my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 v8, it was $375 including labor and everything.
I took my mini to the dealer. They gave me an estimate of $192.00 for he pump and 6 hours of labor. The total cost was $1133.00 to replace the water pump.
