Default first timer, any tips?




so im finally about to drop a b16 sirII into my 94 del sol.


Im pretty sure ive got everything i need, im not too mechanically inclined so i have a few friends of mine that are mechanics helping me. But they've never done a motor swap before either, or well they have but their used to working with v-8's.


are there any tips, or things i should know before going into it? Anything to make things easier?

any helpful replies are appreciated.

Make sure to have a pretty decent punch set on hand so you can try a few different sizes on the damn shift linkage pin that holds the shifter rod to the transmission.



BTW: Do you have a complete list of all the parts you have?
