Engine swap

i just aquired the means to get a free doch engine(same year as my car) how much work is it to swap engines? i need the harnesses and the ecu and the motor itself...... but what else? dont i have to swap the radiator?

and aslo if anyone has done this swap how many hours of work does it need to make the swap and is it a realy hard work?

So you've got a SOHC? Why not just spend a few extra and get the TT engine if your realy thinking about a swap?

because the DOHC is free, making the TT engine way more than a couple hundred difference.

jup thats right. also there arent any tt's around in iceland. and i havent got the money to spend 16-24g's on a vr-4 and also the turbo is such a gaz guzzler that i wuld rather have my old firebird back and i dont want that :) this is only my school car i will upgrade to something that packs a better punch after i have finished school

i have got one question though.... the sites that the moderator showed only cover a engine swap from year to year. but i have a engine that it the same model and everything and i just need to know what needs to be changed from a sohc do a dohc

thanx alot this helps me get a good idea.... seems to be a big undertaking. i thank god am not thinking of doing a head swap or anything i can get the whole motor and every accsesory with it beacouse my friend chrashed his sl and is in negotiation with the insurance company to keep the car so im realy free to take every thing i need that is usable.

will any v6 tt engin fit into my car? srry if its a dumb question

well since they all have the same size, yes I would presume you could fit a TT engine into the vehicle. however there would be fabrication that would need to be done.
