Time to Swap!
Thursday, May 07, 2009 10:09 AM
Alright i got another LD9 but have no idea on what i need to take off and what all needs to be done. i found the two what i call anchors that i'll hook the hoist up to but what all do i need to unbolt if i am taking the tranny out with the engine all at once? Another question i have is does the wire harnest come up with the engine or do i need to redo it? thanks

it might take you a while to do. sounds like you have never done a swap before. unplug all harnesses and connectors from any sensor on the engine, take off the crank pulley, remove axles, remove exhaust manifold, remove battery, remove hood, i would suggest removing the intake manifold - it makes swinging the engine around alot easier. then hook a chain or strap up and yank. be careful not to hit the master cylinder or the abs module...

alright i got all the sensors unplugged and TRYING to get the exhaust manifold loose. i ran into something that started to ponder me. I want to hook up my oil pressure gauge but i don't know where to tie it in to. Same with water temperature gauge.
