motor swaps are fun!!!
i have done 2 swaps in teh past 2 weeks.
did a chevy 350 in a 1997 3/4 ton truck in 3 days
then i did a 2.5 suby swap in a legacy in just under 2 days.
but i almost got beat today by a 2003 Mecredes CLK 500 AMG.
it was a simple 'please instal these lowering springs'
sure thing....4 hours later they were finaly done!!
fuggers.

So all jokes aside, do you guys really think it is possible to do it? I still haven't figured out who is installing my engine but I need to figure it out ASAP because the engine is expected to be done and shipping out from Buckshot this weekend. This would be ideal for me. A group of CEGers teaming up to do an engine swap.  Much rather do that then a garage with very little knowledge of our cars doing it.
