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?
