[V8] Motor SWAP!!!

[Ingo Rautenberg]

I can't think of any issues off hand, but either I'm a lot stronger than I
though or Brian's off in his front bumper weight assumption. I'd guess under
80 lbs. The bumper itself is aluminum, so it really is no big deal. Just be
careful with the electrical harness plug (near the washer pump iirc).  Good
luck.

Good luck Curtis. I'll be very interested in your progress, so check in
often, and take lots of photos. You could always put it on a blog...might be
a fin thing for you and your son to do, plus it would be informational for
others who endeavor to perform a motor swap.

Anyway, best of luck. You can count on me to assist in anyway I can.

As for pulling the front end, it would definitely give you better access to
the engine bay, but that front bumper assembly is heavy, about 200 lbs IIRC,
so be careful.
