ok so I recently met another jbody owner with an eco s/c. had a talk with him about the swap that I want to do and he basically told me that I am wasting my time but regardless I am continuing with it, he also mentioned that one reason he did not eco swap his car is because the transmission needs to be PERFECTLY aligned to what extent is this true.

I would love to know who you talked to.

I have done a fair share of Eco swaps including one of the first. Alignment should be right, but it is not rocket science. Measurements, double check, and weld.

I wonder what the guy didnt like about his M62. The power wasnt anything spectacular, but it was still VERY VERY fun. The Harrop on the hand is ALOT more fun.

You talked to Richard Crespo. He bought JHand's old car. The reason he didn't Ecotec swap his other car (if it's the one I'm thinking) is because it's a pre-2000, which makes it a lot harder than a 2k+ car, but I already told you that the night I met up with you. Honestly, it's more time than money since a full donor car can be had for under a grand these days. You really need to look into it so you realize what you're getting into... I mean REALLY realize it. As far as the trans mount, we did mine after he everything under the hood bolted up. The guy tac'ed it in place, we undid all the wiring and lines ran in the area, and he went to town on it.

The eco swap is not that hard persay...just labor intensive. If you have a donor car and time to work on it, its not to hard.

Richard Crespo purchased my mp62 setup that was tuned by Ryan at PnP Tuning ( QWK LN2 ) and made 249 whp on a bone stock eco motor....it was by far the best mod I did to my car......maybe he doesn't want another mp62 eco in the area hahaha.
