nope the old motor is still in, i was doing the tranny and decided to do the whole motor now.

 

bolts have a tendence to disapear so stick as many as you can strait into thenew engine. even if there not holding any thing. make sure your bay area is clean and organized before you start. dont worry about your wires they only fit in one way. take pics as you go along it could help.

 

Yeah you cant exactly detail a motor swap how-to on a forum with any good detail...your best bet is to come back here if you get stuck. Oh and make sure you do have an extra car to drive, because when your swapping the motor anything could happen, you might need to order something you don't have, it might take longer than expected, etc...

Especially if this is your first time doing a swap, take your time and do everything carefully and correct the first time...good luck with the swap, its actually a lot of fun doing one once you get started.

 

ziplock bags are your friends when it comes to bolts

 

Yeah i baught the biggest box of zip locks wal-mart sold the other day when i started the trans!! I,m excited!!!

 

Go slow and watch for everything and anything. If you have a digital camera take lots of pics as you got so you can find everything, route everything, and you can FIND anything. Bag a label it all.
