ok.... I'm not one for many words so I'll make this quick. I brought my car to a shop to have my engine installed. Well anyways the shop fell short of the installing the engine... butchered a few parts and just plain didn't finish. So where I am now, I have the engine and tranni in and thats about it. So whats left is to do the wiring, piping, belts, hoses and such. Which I plan on doing myself, so I'll periodically post pics of the install and at the end I'll have a complete how to when I'm finished. With an entire write up that I hope brings less headaches and an easy install for those that choose to do their own work. http://heathen.2y.net/engine/ < this is where I am at now. In the process of removing the manifold to get easy access to the o2 housing. Once thats done, I'll move onto the wiring and so on and so forth. Wiish me luck. pulsar_gtr has been helping me out at almost every step, Great guy. Much appreciation.

Sounds good man, I think when you have a write up to go with it more ppl will be responsive. I'm currently doing my swap as well and I'm kinda just going by what ever info that i can find and all the ppl here have been pretty informative, and I think your install "guide" will be helpful to a lot ppl.

I'd like to know how it goes! I am particurally(sp?) interested in a wiring diagram or pics of the modified harness. I am having some SR guys help me do my swap, and Korey (GoofyCA18DET) may come down to help me, but that is the hardsest part for me to figure out. Good luck man!
