When I helped my dad do an engine swap the easiest way was like you are going to. We had a engine hoist but we just pulled the first car. In unbolted everything lifted the front of the car and pushed it out drove the next car in unbolted everything 're bolted everything from original car and we were good to go. Quick as fudge.

I dunno about you but fudge moves pretty slow lol

Lolz quick as fudge . This rain is brutal we are doing it all outside. Looks like it's clearing up now but it's random off and on.

just checked the radar. your good for weather for the rest of the night. get out there and begin the swap

Gotta wake up the fasha first . He's a night owl at the ford plant so he sleeps till 5 ish . I'm really thinking we can do this swap inside our garage . I set up the hoist at least [attachment=979]

I'm getting on it , gonna pull the exhaust off .

Keep us updated

That was a bitch . Luckily most of the exhaust hangers were rusted off but the ones that were on were on very well. [attachment=980]

Well time for another update , the spi is out and the svt is ready to be taken out , should see this on the road very soon if all goes well . Also received the wing in the mail from 02ztsian and picked up a set of svt skirts from ZX32NV .

Thanks man , only thing we have to do is replace or fix the cv shaft on the passenger side . It popped out when we lowered the engine down. Other than that it's ready .

you should be able to just pop it back in. might take a bit of force. I know mine were a pain in the ass to get back in
