RE: good used engine

Yeah something like that. Don't quote me, I've never done this swap. You may want to find someone who has and see what all they had to do. By the way, what do you have done to your car?

RE: good used engine

flows, 2" sportline springs, rebuilt trans, king cobra clutch, removed air silencer... some gauges...

by all the goodies I mean like when it was ordered, it had all the bells and whistles put on, it is a NICE car the only flaw is the engine... i'm getting rims and tires soon for it, and thereafter C&C plates... and then a beater car.... so once i get the beater i can take my time getting parts for this one... if you want pix i can post um up

RE: good used engine

all right well checked my oil... went down a bit from yesterday and I barely drove it, and my coolant is below the add mark which it never does... and there are no more leaks/puddles because I fixed those... [:@][:@][:@][:@]

RE: good used engine

the swap is real simple. i had my dads friend do mine, hes an awesome mechanic, and i was there as much as i could. he reused my wiring harness, and everything plugged in right. we reused the pi intake off my old motor,reused the coil packs and made new brackets for them. used the alternator and other accesories off te new engine. other than that i kept my stock computer, tranny was fine, and my cold air intake bolted up fine too. he didnt relocate any coolant sensors. so yeah, nothing tricky to the swap.

RE: good used engine

sweet... if you read my last post, my engine probably doesn't have much life left somewhere in it... so i gotta get my beater soon... alrday sgot some money stashed away for it... ugh...

that's good to know, and I was literally a few bolts away from pulling my engine before, I had to lift it to replace the oil pan gasket, and this was w/o the tranny so i could have removed it
