me and some of my friends are plannin on swappin my engine tomorrow. its a 91' n/a and im puttin in a 90' n/a engine. im expecting it to be all just plug and play. what are some things to make the swap go easier?

 

Is this a bareblock swap or are both motors longblocks?

 

both are longblocks

 

If you are replacing the engine only, I would get a new rear engine seal. They get banged up pretty easy, and it sucks to have replace one after you were already in there.

Things that make it easier:
Engine hoist
Having all the parts you need.
Having all the new fluids.

 

oh ya im goin to be replacing the clutch while the engine is out too.

 

If the motors both have wiring harnesses, then its a fairly straightforward swap.

 

cool i hope i can get it done tomorrow. i need my rx7 runnin good its my only car. tonight it kept over heating and took like 30 minutes to get it started.

 

if you have to ask "what should I look forward to?" don't expect it to take one day only. Expect to replace more than just the engine. Pilot bearing/seal, rear seal (if neccesary), engine mounts if they are dead (good idea, not neccesary unless they are severed), belts, all fluids, any vacuum hose you can reach.... your pulsation dampner would be a great idea.

Then.. after you get it all done, expect another day or two to get it running right.
