Swapping an Engine

[jjd02]

I've got a recently rebuilt 2002 engine out of a '76. I'll hopefully be aquiring a '71 2002 that was bought in germany (euro bumpers mmm...). My plan is to swap my engine into that car. I have a good amount of knowledge myself, and a few friends with even more. We'll be doing it at my friends shop. What am I going to need for the swap? I know what I'll probably need to replace: Hoses, Radiator, Water Pump, and possibly a clutch. But is there anything I'll need to do the swap itself? How hard is this going to be and how long is it going to take? What problems should I expect? Just help prepare me for this task in any way you can. Thanks for any input.

Do you have gaskets for the intake and exhaust manifolds? or do they come with the rebuilt engine? You may also want new studs and nuts for the exhaust manifold, the copper ones! Also I found that bolting the tranny on the engine before installing it is better because you can torque the bolts easier.
Here's some extra new parts you may want:
Fuel filter and rubber fuel line,
motor mounts,
thermostat
Is the distributor included with the new engine?
If you have all the parts ready, it should only take one weekend to accomplish. Oh and another thing, take pictures!

Yea, the rebuilt engine is out of a car that I wrecked . So it's got everything on it. I'll hopefully be buying a single sidedraft manifold with a Weber 45 anyway . You mentioned some things I hadn't thought about, thanks. And pics are a definite, I'll have to roadtrip it to pick up the new car, pics there too. Speaking of roadtripping it. The car I want is in Iowa (Although it sounds like the guy may be able to get the car halfway here)... I am in Oregon. I am also a poor college student. Can anyone help me out in any way?
