[jason]

Hello everyone, i am planning to swap my 7afe for a 4age, everything on this site has been more than helpful!!

I am trying to get together a shopping list of everything that i would need

http://www.japanmotorimport.com/inventory_...php?EngineID=34

starting from there, any help as far as parts, and little tid bits would be helpful.

have a lift & a **** load of tools

if somene could write a generic, yet detailed how to for this to help me get started id be forever thankful!



why the 4age? i want a semi fast, inexpensive (but not cheap) RELIABLE engine
big hp numbers are nice, but im looking to spend <2-3 grand for this & have money left over to restore my car elsewhere (small dents, slight scratches, small rust spots in fenders/corner of my driver door from rubbing)

ive been back n forth most all over dr tweaks site he dropped the one in that wagon so not sure if anyone can do a write up that i can start from


on a side note, if/when i ever get around to starting this thing i plan to document so people down the road can learn from my experiance

thank you to everyone in this community in advance in helping to point me in the right direction!!!

I found this to be very easy when removing the engine with Tranny that it makes me want to laugh cause I had such a hard time the first time I did it.

After you have removed everything from the front of the engine (wiring ect) and taken all the bolts that holds the mount onto the chasis, remove the tranny motor mount off of the tranny itself on the driver side and slide the engine a little ways towards yourself, then using a leveler raise it so that the side towards the pass goes up a little ways and then jack up the engine. This way it doesn't hook anything get caught or cause problems.

It was so simple I felt stupid after taking out my engine.
