I am putting the new motor in next week.... any tips for the install??? This is the first time i've done anything to this extent..... I know someone else on here has done this, anything i should watch for???

 

what kind of motor. was it running before you are putting it in your car?

 

I have a 03 Se and i got a motor & trans from a 03 SXT with 11,500 mile for $200. My motor is starting to have leaks and mis fire, and the trans Died a shop said, the head is warped cause it was overheating for a while so i figured just put the basically new motor in and start building a real motor out of the originall one!! I still have to decide if i want to send it out or have it built??? Not sure yet but over the next year & 1/2 i want to have it built top to bottom. By then i should have the body done and the car paid off!! so Within 2 Years the car should be real fun!!!

 

how are you finding deals like this, im jelouse.

 

Yea I know you seem to be able to scrap all these deals up, do u know someone in the salvage yard business?

 

i just always keep my eyes open and the guy at ecology here in riverside call me when they get a neon.

 

thats way to much to write youll just have to get back to us when you get stuck.

 

just make sure you mark everything where it came off and where it goes. that goes for tubes wires, bolts EVERYTHING!!!! and work meticulously (i think i used that right) and label everything and dont rush

 

Yeah i wint and got another car for $500 bucks so i would have all the time i needed. Maby i'll take pics and do a write up??? If i get real bored!

 

have you already pulled the old motor
