themaxx Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 i used to own one and i'm looking at buying a 97 non runner for 600 bucks in decent shape. what is the bare minimum that i need to swap the engine out? do i need all the accessories like ps pump, alt, intake manifold, etc. ; and where should i buy it from? i want to go jdm for sure, and also upgrade the head gaskets with performance gasket set to take care of the gasket problem. any advice is a appreciated.

Drakien Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 So the car you are getting is a GT 2.5 and you are swapping in another 2.5 correct? If the none runner already has all the parts you listed then I would just recommend 100,000 mile tune up items. I would take the alternator to Autozone or the like and have them test it to be on the safe side. *Free* Water pump, thermostat, Head Gaskets, Intake manifold gaskets, exhaust gaskets, Plugs, Wires, Oil filter, Oil, Clutch alignment tool (If it is a manual and are switching over the clutch or putting a new one on), Antifreeze, Fuel Filter. If I missed anything feel free to chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaxx Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 how much should that cost me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakien Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Depends on where you get the stuff. I would guess between $200-$400 for everything. That is about what I spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
