Dude if you don't even know where to START,, then you're gonna have to have a garage do the swap,, for mega $$$'s

I can't imagine "talking you thru an engine swap" on a web forum

Have you pulled the old motor out already? That's the EASY part

If you are asking this question you do not need to be doing a engine swap. Have someone help you.

I'll sum the list up, you need EVERYTHING! mounts, exhaust, fuel, cooling, suspension, a rear that will hold up, maybe even a hood. I hate re-wiring engine swaps >.<
