tools needed

[fastim87]

I'm looking at putting a red top into an s13 version of the 240, and was wondering what tools I will need to do it on my own. I'm not part of a "racing team", so I don't have a shop to do the work in, just my garage...

An engine hoist! Beyond that... a good complete set of hand tools, a nice air compressor and tank with an impact wrench and so forth. This is not a project that one should tackle on their own without a REALLY good idea what they are doing. Two or three heads are always better than one... and an extra set of hands is valuable as well. It's a VERY easy swap as far as engine swaps go, because it is a direct bolt on usually. Then again... I've never swapped a Nissan engine, so I'm certainly not an authority. It can be done on your own or with a buddy.... but there are ALWAYS complications when you get involved with a transplant......
