kaz98gt Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 The title speaks for itself. I'm looking at pulling my engine and swapping in something fresher, newer, or more powerful. The new engine isn't what I'm focused on now though; I'm worried about pulling the old one. For all you guys that have done it, what's involved? I have sort of a good idea of some of the steps, but like I said this is the first time for me, and want to get things right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98sc00byGT Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv158/OPALAKA/Mobile%20Uploads/0315001922.jpg disconnect everything and take everything off so it looks like this take radiator out disconnect wiring harness by transmission and there are 2 engine mounts that you have to unbolt and that is pretty much it... then lift it out it comes right out it is a very easy engine to work on http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv158/OPALAKA/Mobile%20Uploads/0316001822.jpg That was EASY!

kaz98gt Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 hmm, boring it out is a good idea, maybe I'll do that instead. A rebuild would be sweet! Right now this project is postponed till next summer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
