milkdud, let me help you out here. You need to learn the basics of engine swapping before you undertake the actual job....or make a decision about what engine and transmission to use. Here is a book called Practical Engine Swapping by John Thawley. This will explain the basics of swapping. I always buy used books to save a little money, so would recommend any of the used offerings shown here for $5.96 plus $3.99 shipping. That's less than 10 bucks, delivered to your door.
