help researching 3sgte swap!, my head hurts Options

[celicak]

ok so i'm planning on doing a 3sgte swap in about a year. right now i'm doing all kinds of research on it reading threads, stickies, looking for places that sell clips. but here's the problem it's getting overwhelming. i've been reading threads and stickies all weekend and the more i read the less sure of myself i get. so what i would like to ask is that yall who have more experience or have done this swap please if you could recommend what threads i should start off with. i think first off i should read what i would need as far as parts go (in generic parts). um...yeah and stuff of that nature. basically i am yours to mold i just want to know what to read and in what order. any help you have would be great. i can't continue to just go from the last thread and read all the 3sgte threads all the abbreviations are hard to keep up with and the formulas and cr@p. thanks in advance.

Make sure you have a secondary form of transportation during the swap... Things like this will always take longer than you think, and you probably still have to get to work in the morning!

If you have faith in yourself that you could remove and re-install a motor, you can probably do the swap yourself if you have somebody else do the harness. Helping hands are always a good idea though.

Good luck!
