May 12, 201213 yr you can just swap the font axles and be done. installing the engine and trans together will be impossible. you will hae to get a 12 ft tall engine crane and drop the whole rig in near vertical, and hit the ground before you can turn it into the trans tunnel. I have tried it, not fun, never again. the thing to do is build the entire subframe, suspension, engine and trans together, and then jack it up into the car, or lower the car body onto it.
May 29, 201213 yr Author Its been a little while I've been doing some trials and errors. I got everything in perfectly (Engine & transmission, Axles) Got it wired up and before I put the drive shaft and rear end in I wanted to fire it up to see how it went. Unfortunately It didn't start I was beyond pissed Its turning but not not catching so I went straight to work And here is what happened: First I checked my distributor and the "rotor " under the distributor cap was missing the screw and the rotor was cracked so I replaced that, Still nothing. Now I just checked my distributor cables for spark and on cyl. No. 1 it doesn't have spark while ignition is turning, but when It winds down it gives spark. Im not to sure what this means or what else could be wrong.....? Any help would be extremely Appreciated. Im just frustrated this motor with new everything is pulling the same BS
October 15, 201213 yr Author Sooo its been a while and my swap is just about done! It is now a fully working 4x4! With a new rack, New tires, completely rebuilt motor(timing belts, distributor,wires,plugs and finally got a new tail light to replace the broken one) It only needs a couple of things to be 100%! and those couple of things are I need to weld my carrier mount bearing and minor clutch work (It still engages and drives, clutch pedal just needs more "spring" and my trunk wont close because the lock is bent from when I got hit in the back and it will not latch. Other than those things its great. Here is my photobucket account where you can see all of SAMs photos! I'll let the pictures talk http://s249.beta.photobucket.com/user/Lopez13_bucket/library/
