I did the ENTIRE thing by myself in my driveway. Only thing that someone helped me on was actually lowering the engine in. Other than that i got it in and running by myself. The reason it took me twice as long was because after it was all in i had to go back and redo half of my work   Its do-able, and I couldn't be happier with how much ive learned so far |

ALSO, take LOTS of NOTES and PICTURES, if you have problems we can help, but we would need your help to help you, thats where Notes and Pictures come into play
 , And make sure you have plenty of time, you don't want to rush this, make plans with friends/family so you'll be able to get around to pick up stuff you need(food, soap, that last spark plug...)and then make back-up plans for that, and then back-up plans for back-up plans etc...Swaps are all about planning, research, and execution, since you were smart enough to ask, I think your smart enough to do! |
