I started putting my engine in on Saturday...and let me tell you, it was a bitch. Everything that could go wrong did. We didnt have a cherry picker so we were doing it from the bottom...DONT BELIEVE PEOPLE WHEN THEY TELL YOU ITS EASIER THAT WAY!!! It was a very long and drawn out process. I have never come across SOOO many stuck bolts. I WD-40'd every bolt that looked like it would be stuck....then waited an hour or so and they still wouldnt come off. So i heated them with a torch...still nothing. We probably spent 4 hours just trying to take off certain bolts. Well we finally got the engine out and i cleaned the bay and prepped the other engine. I went to put on the alternator when i noticed that the stupid retard that sold me the engine gave me the wrong one...the UD pulley and the belt have 3 grooves and the alt only has 2. He also forgot the dustpan and the bolts to attatch the half shaft to the block. I decided to go ahead and put the engine in anyway and get past that step. So we started raising the engine into place and the mounts wouldnt line up for ****. Im using HASports and they didnt want to cooperate...which is my fault b/c i dont think that i bent the rear crossmember enough. We had a REALLY hard time with the rear bracket. But the engine is in now...all i have to do is install the suspension and hook up all the wiring and cables and everything. Cant wait to get it all finished.

PS-Its a 92 LS going into a 90 CRX dx
