I have swapped engines and transmissions and am running into some questions for someone that has done it. Please let me know if you have.

UPDATE: Today I installed the starter, the charcoal cannister, all the vaccuum and fuel lines and some of the coolant lines. I also put in the airfilter box and cover as well as the battery. I put the distributor in but did not tighten it down as the timing has to be set. Next I need new transmission lines (I hope to get from the junkyard) and I need one of the fittings for the transmission. After that will be the radiator and the connecting lines. All that will be left is the ECM and the interior lower dash panels and then I need to add all the fluids, spark plugs, cap and rotor, and final adjustments. I am hoping it will crank right over when I try to start it. More to follow.
