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>

 

No, no eveyrone not all at once like this...lol

 

you might as well replace the head gasket while your at it <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

 

i dont know what a H/C/I is. or id help but the books are wrong just put the pump out of the way itwell be fine. and power streering pullers a cheap. go for it.

 

I know on my 93 FS Bronco I just moved the compressor out of the way when I pulled the engine.

 

</P>

Good thing you told me cuz I was just gonna leave no gasket in there, so I could save some wieght....lol</P>

 

</P>


h/i/c is heads/intake/cams</P>

 

looks like fun<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">

 

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

 

180* stat? also can the power steering puller also work for the Harmonic, or am I gonna need another puller?
