Read the stickies and know what ur getting into. Buy a front clip if you decide to go ahead and do the swap. Be very prepared to have your car out of commission for weeks if not more.

Dont try and take a swap lightly they are a lot of work and everyone is a bit different.

All the information you need has already been covered.

You can use your stock Trans, and stock motor mounts. That is about all you can use though. You will have to get a Throttle cable from a trecel to be able to reach, as it is on the other side of the engine.

Once again you should have read the stickies and listened to the advice that was offered to you in this thread even. Buying the engine by itself was a mistake, sourcing those parts could be a giant pita and will probably cost the same if not more than simply buying a front end clip.

Swaps are not simply to just 'hop' into which is obviously what you are doing right now...

1.) Yes lots of wiring, do not attempt if you do not know about the basic wires
2.) yes it will bolt up
3.) Yes u need a new exhaust
4.) U need an AFM, External Coil, Igniter,
5.) After You have all that everything will bolt up, minus the part where you need to go and buy some hoses to work with the Brake booster vaccum, and P/S?
