what parts do you need to put it in other than the cable hydro kit? How much did everything cost you?

Do you need to buy mounts?

the swap wasn't as bad as i thought it would be... the hardest part i can think of, was tryin to get that damn bolt through the rear motor mount, it took us almost 30 mins to get that thing to line up.. other then that, it was pretty striaght forward.. i would recommend, not doin it at night like i did.. from midnight to 11:30 a.m. it was hell.. lates..
