Re: Swapping Issue!!

Ah, I see now. You will need a motor complete with ECU and wire harness. You will have to swap out the harness with the motor. If it is a manual trans car you will need to run the R-154.

To do this swap on your own you will need a shop with a decent tool collection. You will need be able to find your way around the wires, as well as the mechanical parts. Engine swapping is not the easiest task.
