anyone else please post anything you think is a good idea to do while swapping your engine

 

I don't know much about engine swaps.. but should we make this a sticky?

 

motor mounts will most likely need to be replaced. at a minimum, the rear one.



check the harness, and make sure that it is in proper condition.



upgrade the pump, trust me, you'll need it soon.



new clutch, especially if you have a lot of miles.....



vacuum hose, zip ties, and angled hose pliers....



there are plenty more....

 

you guys have no idea how many people ask me what you need to swap engines lol

 

-a case of 24...

-a friend with lots of tools and patience

-a working car to run down to the local canadian tire (or autozone) for more parts and tools

-a cordless phone to call people for help... ie where the hell does this little hose go?

-and lots of bright light so u can see!

 

Not to mention a big *** spliff to celebrate.

 

an understanding girfriend or wife who will take the "frustration Pounding" like a champ, when everything does not go your way....

 

I was going to say the cluth but I was beaten to it. It looks so much easier from the opposite end.

 

lol



i think some good music to keep you motivated thruout the whole ordeal.







unless if you don't like music. then whatver.
