1) Where is the EGR valve? Trying to hook up the vaccum line to it.
2) How do you get around the radiator hose diameter issue? Using the stock civic radiator but the gsr hoses are too large.

1) dont need it for you application; unless you're confusing this witht he charcoal canister valve ... which you dont have to hook up, just for emissions purposes

2) get a blade and cut a piece off the old civic hose, put that onto the radiator, then put gsr hose over the civic hose and clamp down. Use oil to lube hose over hose.

We had the passenger upper mount and the driverside upper mount both on.. It was a tight squeeze... We had to drop the engine in with it tilted. We dropped it all the way to the ground then lifted it back up strait. It was tough to get the bolts through the 2 mounts so we unbolted them from the engine and wiggled them till the bolt went all the way through. Its really not that hard. The first time its a little complicated but when we go to do my friends swap it should go a lot quicker and easier.

Edit: In that pic i guess we hadnt put the mounts on yet.. but we did put them on eventually

I would really like to sell it. It has 140,000 miles on it but its still running strong. My dad thinks we can get at least 400 for it. Im gonna try to sell it, but if in a few weeks its still around we will prolly just want to get rid of it.

Most VX motors end up at Rumpke.
