its pretty simple...TAKE ENGINE 1 OUT, PUT ENGINE 2 IN....


haha...IMO remove tranny when you pull it...took me about a half hour to line it all up when putting the new engine in...

and check for gas leaks before you put the UIM on...(jumper the fuel pump) - you dont wanna be taking that off and on and off and on...


PUT IN A TURBO MOTOR!
