i like to do work in my garage alone. much better

Its basically self explanatory, if you have a handful of tools and alot of time in your hands. You will have a easy way out of taking the motor out. But basically you have to drain you fluids out and look around for what connect to what and unbolt it. I learned it that way when i was 15 starting my first swaps.

dont just start unbolting shit and pulling plugs without knowing how they go back on and where bc this will fuck you..... happened in my hatch when i swapped in my d16z6 had to go thru so much shit to remember where things went but i got it running and hard! haha

[briangt35r]

I like to put all bolts in one place like a bucket or something....

If you want to do it yourself, doing it on your own will be easier with just a laptop, and a wifi connection to the internet. I find that having buddies around while your trying to do something for the first time, they tend to get impatient and end up doing it for you, and calling you a dumb ass for not being able to do it...

thanks guys.

i just wanna make sure i got complete parts..
complete ls with mounts.
i got a pass side mount from b16 still need T
and i got a b16 shift linkage
buying axles and half shaft waiting for them to be sent.

i read in a book i need upper/lower rad hoses from the LS and i need the throttle cable. not sure how true that is since no other place has told me that.

i am in no means afraid of doing the swap, im actually more excited to finally take the damn shit out so i can learn it :)

@dan.. we shall spark MANY times lol.
@pat.. if you picke up it would be sick

ITR OR DC throttle cable
Yes you need the Rad Hoses. I had to buy new ones for mine. Both of them cost me 14 bux total. I got my Throttle cable from the junkyard fo FREE!

My Axles cost me 50 bux a piece!
