to those of you who did your own 3sgte swaps Options

[brianforster]

what were your car experiences when taking on the project..

lets say 1 is you didnt even change your own oil, 5 is being able to change your timing belt and 10 is doctor tweak (<3)

what would you rate yourself? how long did it take? what was the most frustrating part? (besides wiring, because my harness is already complete)

PS. doc if you read this, i still wann have the swap done by you, because of your crudentials, i trust you, and i know everything would be done right.. but my friends have some good points and are really trying to make me do this myself!

thanks all

well, id say i was like a 6 when i started. having done headgaskets,exhaust work, turboing, and tuning.
so far the hardest thing was remember where you pulled each bolt from.
but after looking in the BGB it all comes back.
my swap would have been done if i had the funds to have everything here at once.
so to reduce downtime make sure you have everything.
(ps spec makes a great 3sgte/5sfe tranny clutch. made perfect to fit)
make sure when pulling axels u dont pull the cv apart lol.

this is how i see it lol. if you were good with legos as a kid then u can do this.
all of the parts are ment to go together you just need to find the correct way to do it.
