any tricks or hints for motor swap

This is the situation, i bought a parts car just to find out its in way better shape than my current fc so after im done with painting the "parts car" we are swapping the motors since the motor in the parts car is bad and mine is running strong. i was just wandering if there was anything i should know or beware of. both are 88 n/a so i think it should be farely simple

Pull the radiator out so you don't puncture it.

not really. most of the things are the same threads and whatnot. infact, you can get by with buying four bags af the appropriate nuts and bolts.


drain all the fluids.pull the radiator.
