This is what I got out of reading through the dozens of threads with scattered info on swapping a motor. Also a bit from the FSM. I'm swapping a 97 s14 KA24DE into my 91 s13 because I recently blew my motor. This is how I will go about doing it, I kinda threw it together the best way I could. Please correct me if I am wrong. I'm not a pro by any means when it comes to working on cars, so bear with me, I'm doing the engine swap by myself.

Engine Check List:

1. Remove Hood

2. Drain Coolant

3. Drain Oil

4. Drain Clutch Fluid (do I need to? If so, where?)

5. Drain transmission Fluid (again, do I need to do this too? I know where to drain it if so.)

6. Release Fuel Pressure (errr where do I do that?)

7. Disconnect Hoses / Wires / Harnesses (sounds easy enough I guess, more details where to d/c them would be nice, so I don't f anything up)

8. Remove Exhaust Tubes

9. Remove Driveshaft

10. Take Radiator and shroud out

11. Remove Power Steering oil pump (Where is this? I didn't know it was attached to the motor.)

12. Attach Engine Lift

13. Remove Bolts

14. Remove Motor with transmission attached (Since I will need to swap this manual transmission onto the new one.)

NEED TO SWAP WITH NEW MOTOR (since it's a 97 going into a 91)

Intake ManifoldRotor (under the distributor cap right?)Sensor under neath Intake Manifold (which sensor?)Distributor cap

That's it right?

you might want to check if you'll have problems with the OBD system. that may complicate wiring
