I have a lift but I can't see lowering the motor and aligning it at the same time being feasable. I just used the lift to raise the car all the way up, put it on stands and rolled the motor under. Tomorrow I remove the crossmember and lower this sunufabitch in.

Im my own cherry picker..i pulled the D out the top with out a cherry picker.

i had some initial help from a friend, a chain and a pressure treated 4x4. but ended up doing most of it by my self...I have a cherry picker.....but at that moment that involved a 3 dollar a gallon trip to grandmas storage warehouse in the Silverado...so......

 

ive done many swaps myself with the cherrypicker. lowering the car over the engine seems like a hassle.

depends on the code and if it is lsd.

a1/s1/j1 run from 200-500 depending on condition ad if they have lsd
y1 runs from around 300-650 depending on the same things
ys1 runs from 400 to 800 depending on the same things.

 

 

so would it be worth it if it was a complete swap with like a y1 or ys1 no lsd for a grand?

 

oh yeah from what I found out today from the previous page.

So I jack up the car to install the springs in struts.
results:
The DA Tein Lowering springs did not work with the stock Struts or the AGX rear struts. It actually rasied my car
So I ended up using the AGX struts with my old springs. So for some reason the lowering springs didn't work. Thats the part I'm stuck at because I have that AGX and TEIN DA combo i the front and I actually have some camber.

 

Took some pic today, so i decided to share

 

be careful when you get ys1.. it can be an LS or gsr trans.

if you are buying a complete swap from some1 and its in there car. Ask them to test drive the car first. Trannies are prett much a shot in the dark as well as motors. Unless you trust the person and know them I wouldn't trust anyone with a tranny. I have gotten screwed over with some bad trannies in my day.

just my .02 cents

and parts from a jdm y1, s1, and j1 are not cheap either nor interchangable with ys1 trannies.
92-93 GSR trannies are three fork design where the older year jdm trannies are 2 fork design.
or osmehting ot that matter.

Someone hook it up with an EF9 SiR long LED spoiler .
