You need one of these, before you start putting a motor in your car.

well ur gonna need a jumper harness to convet to the correct OBD or a new distributor and injectors.

He only said the ECU was OBD I. If the motor is, he should check local law regaurding older motors in newer cars. You generaly have to stay within' your cars emissions teir for it to be a registerable legal swap.

yeah its gonna be illegal
sorry to say its all i can afford right now so hey ill just replace the ecu later the motor is an obd 2 the wiring is obd1 though so yeah i got the radiador out and almost all the hoses. im gonna start taking the exhaust manifold off ill up date you guys later tonight

... and you are from Cali? Man... I hate to sound like a dick, but IMO you just waisted a TON of money. First off, the swap has to be SAME YEAR as your chassis, or newer. If it is OBD1 as mentioned - that means the motor is 1992-1995... Ive never been good at math, but im sure those years are BEFORE 1997.

Your state has the absolute stictest policies when it comes to emissions and legallity of "swapping" - of which you need to provide paperwork to get a sticker to prove its legal... you will be denied.

i know thats why i cancelled it like and hour ago. he wanted a 25percent restocking fee. but hes dumb and didnt even get my credit care number so yeah hes not getting anything. but now i have no car my car has all the hoses off the radiator and hood off
the tranny is unbolted i was just about to take the engine out . will a shop charge less if the motor is moved already. theres this shop close to where i live he said he can get me a b18c complete swapped in for 4300 is that good im gonna try and get him to drop it to atleast 3800

I really dont think you will be able to get a local shop to drop the price. Like I said, just make sure it is the same year or newer - anyone who DOES swaps should be able to tell you in like a minute by looking at the VIN if they are reputable. They should also be able to guarentee the fact that it is...

Yes, if your car is already taken apart they should be willing to come down a little bit, since all they would have to do is basically just drop the new motor in.

Where did you order if you dont mind me asking?

Whats the name of the shop you are thinking about having it dropped in at?

the shop i wanna try to get to hook it up its called methodmotorworks.com
