for those of you that have done the swap, let's say I mount the engine, change the oil, distributor cap and rotor, cables , spark plugs and all other basics what are the chaces it will run with no other problems?

What kind of problems have people that have done the swap seen?

timming belt is a must if its not new then you should be ok ZC are a blast I love mine

 

Just to be safe, remember the motor is 12 years old, change the oil seals, timing belt , tensioner & water pump. I subscribe to the condom theory on this; it's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it...

 

That's pretty much what I did on mine 3 or 4 years ago, and it still runs like a champ. I changed the timing belt also. It's now due for a new T-belt, a water pump this time, and tensioner, so I've obvisouly put some miles on it.

 

so far sounds good.
