    Swapped an engine this weekend, pics inside

    First, some good ol' fashion garage man love...



    Donor



    I don't remember what this was



    Got it all done in one weekend, with no manual, and no idea what I was doing!

    Now, I'm ready to go to the national meet in LA! Woohoo.

    Oh, and for everyone that thought this thread was going to be something awesome dropped into a Tracer, no, it's just a plain ol ford 1.9l engine. Haha. That's a little later down the road.

    Oh happy days. Well done dude! I never had an electric hoist to help me when I used to do it (a few times) I just relied on 4"x4" lump of wood stretched across the front wings and some crappy rope.

    Why'd you swap it? I wouldn't have dropped it in the top for sure. Anything transverse should come in from under the body.

    Cause the old one had 160 000 miles and this one had 80 000.

    And thats how you take out a engine , from on top.

    doesnt really matter which way you take it out but i've always just "dropped" the engine out of front wheel drive cars and lifted the car off the engine. now if i had an engine hoist i might do them different but when all you got is a lift you make due
