My revelation

[eyearejon]

Yea so I was thinking about how I was gonna put my car in a shop to get my swap done and I realized something, I thought to myself, "Be a man Jon...DIY" I'm not mechanically adept when it comes to motors, I'm pretty good at wiring and electronics and suspension. So it'll be a learning experience. Flaming aside, all I have to go by is manuals and CB7tuner.com.

So I'm at stage one...the pre-swap stage. I bought a shitload of tools and my dad gave me some socket wrenches, drill, etc. And I'm gonna go check out a hoist within the next few weeks. But before I start on that I need to take care of everything pre-swap. Alright guys so from your experiences, my car is running all stock, everything is original except the radiator, and alternator/starter of course. Do I HAVE to change the hoses, pumps, master cylinder etc before I dropp the motor in, or is that only if they're in fucked up shape? All my hoses are still in relatively good condition. I am going to change the master cylinder because I've been having problems with it. But as far as all the other shit, is it a necessity or just a good choice to do so?

By the way..wish me luck. This is gonna be like exploring a cave without a flash light. Cause I dont know shiiiiiiiiiiiit about motors.

hoist is not NEEDED may be helpfull though

[The G-Man]

How else would you do it without a hoist? Jack the body over the engine?

Not talking about theh oist, talkin about hoses, pumps, etc, is it a neccessity to change them if they're in good shape?

it's always a good idea to do so, but you can take the risk.

Gives me the Courage to do my own swap but i would need a beater to ride around in while im raping my baby. Because, i know im going to screw something up.

That is the spirit in which to do all things.
