It finally happened
99 4x4 5.9
Well it finally happened. Lost 2 cylinder after replacing heads, timing chain and some other stuff. So now gonna do an engine change. Found one for 400 that has 127,000 on it better then the 180 on this one. Knew it was going to happen but had to keep her running till the end.
So the question is what is the easiest way to swap engines. leave tranny in or take out with engine? What about shorty headers? Are they woth it?
Been 35 years since did a engine swap but figured I can dig deep in my brain and remember a few things. So ny advice or ideas are greatly appreciated.
Was thinking about having a engine swap party but figured no one would show up. LOL

Front seal isn't hard if you use a seal puller (basically a big pick) it'll take about 10-12 minutes. Throwing a new converter in won't hurt. I would if I was about 150,000
