Ok, im swapping my SOHC KA for another one with fewer miles and no warped head/block....i know i have to disconnect the tranny, motormounts, wiring harness, and the hoses attached to the engine bay...but should i do anything else, i think i have to take out the radiator, i will just in case...any tips would be helpful

 

hrmm shouldnt be too bad man, as for the radiator i dont remember having to take mine out, but i mean if its obviously getting in the way...take it out heh...ermm might want some kind of chiltons manual maybe?? and if theres any other major concerns thats why we have the nissan forum heh good luck

 

thanks jonas, im sure i'll have more questions comming, this is my first non-VW buggie engine swap

 

omg.

remove radiator
ac lines
motor mount nuts
wiring
heater hoses
shifter
fluids
driveshaft
exhaust
throttle cable
motor

installation is the opposite of removal

 

for an easier time

remove

a/c compresor (it's easier to remove this than lines, especially if its charged )
power steering pump


motor won't come out without power steering pump / lines / some sort disconnected!! don't forget it!

 

yeah everything taylor said, and if you have belts that need to be put, check all the hard to reach parts while the motor is out

 

clutch slave cyl needs to come off tranny

 

ya'll are great...thanks wizzards
