I didn't do my swap myself cause I knew I'd screw something up but everyone usually recommends Heavythrottle's guide as basic guidlines. It pretty informative.

the swap is an easy swap. if you can do a bolt in, that's basically it. trouble shooting it is something else though but there's more than enough info about other peoples mishaps that you can figure it out.

yurself and a buddy or 2 is all ya need. let the shop cut the harness and u do the real work. ull save money too!

i would recomend using heavythrottle.com for info they have a pretty good write up on their website. they have all the diagrams for the wiring harnes. and what you have to do to the heater hoses and coolant line on the rear of the motor b4 install. i would study that write up then call them for advice about the swap then buy your parts from them to be curdious. they will price match.

Thanks for words of wisdom guys.I checked out that heavythroattle.com place checked it out looks simple enough im still gonna look at more diagrams and pictures and read more into it. But i can prolly do it i can do a honda motor swap alone in 9 hours ill prolly get this first time arround.

make sure you have all your parts b4 you start the swap i had everything planed to be swaped in a week (wanted to get the car to the body shhop while motor was out) well the swap took almost a month because of bad parts from company(not heavythrottle) parts not ariving on time and needing stuff in the middle of the swap. so make sure you have EVERYTHING b4 you start. hope this helps.

Oh good plan maybe i should save some more money to send it to paint while motors out.Im kinda scared though i dont have stock rims to send with the car to paint and last time this guy painted my civic he oversprayed on my rims not a smart guy...........
