So does the donor car already have a motor? I dont think i understand the question completely. Let us know a little more of what you have engine wise, and car wise

helllllllllll no
maybe 2 weeks.
And since you have a donor car, as long as its complete you will have no problems. Except, you may rather buy a few other parts than try to take them out of the donor car. You'll see when you get there, its not that hard, just time consuming. But, a few things will go wrong while you are doing it. At least...thats what happened to me. Although if everything goes perfect it will take 3 to 5 days...but I had to wait on a few parts, and then we had to tinker with it to make it start. But it'll be fun...just don't overestimate anything

Yeah, the only problem for me was that my 4banger was a manual, and my doner car was an automatic...so I had to do all of that as well.
