Default What tools Needed??



I am looking into doing a H/C/I Swap myself, and I am looking through my Haynes and Chiltons, finding what all I would need to get. I think I have it all but then I hear I am gonna need some specialized tools as well, like a Power steering pulley puller. Besides the complete Wrench socket set, torque wrench, power steering pump puller, RTV sealant and Cam Lube what else am I gonna need??? </P>


Also, when your swinging the AC Compressor out of the way, both manuals recommed getting it discharged first....is that really nessceary?? It seems like a hassle to go get it discharged and then having to go back and get i charged again. This AC part seems the trickiest too me.......</P>

you'll need a harmonic balancer pulley removal tool..
get good H/G, anti freeze,180 stat
also clean the tops on yours pistons while the heads are off..port match the heads and intake for added hp...make sure how the cam is made ie..2 degree advance in the cam..card will say
