If you're swapping the old KA24 engine for the exact same one, it should be very easy!I'm confident even people with a minor knowledge of the engine bay could do it.

yea, all you do it take the old one out, put the other in. shouldn't need to do anything at all, other then that. if you get the same engine at least.

I am the worlds most mechanically challenged person and even I say that it should be easy to do. All the mounts and connections on the "new" engine should match right up to the old one.

Just mark all your connections, maybe even color code them, that way you won't forget anything, even though thats almost impossible.

thanks for the help fellows.the reason I was asking is because the new engine is out of a 91'240 and its a manual trans.I didnt know if they might have a slight change or something.
