What Mounts Are Needed

[Smooth_Imports]

I think i may have just bought a 99ls swap. What mounts am i goingto need and what current mounts can i still use. Are there any special tools i'm going to need to do the swap. I have a engine lift and all the basic tools, I've never done a swap before so i'm going to try and do this solo, with the help of a few friends but non of them are that inclined either. This should be a basic take out and put in job right. I'm going to switch the ECU also to make it easier so i don't have to do alot of wiring ( funny because the wiring is the only thing that i feel really confertable doing)

you'll need del sol mounts i believe.. mike take my word for it.. if i could onlyl find the pictures of what my stock mounts looked like.. i know it sucks balls but invest in some poly mounts.. (or use that diy we have for filling yoru stock ones with poly) i have a passenger side for a 5th gen from place racing (i love my PR mounts holding up very nice) you can use a normal socket set to get them on and off.. just get a jack with a wood block under the oil pan and jack up the motor on each side when you change out the mount..

if you want we can meet up and i can help do the swap.. i've been itching to get on antother one lately

It'll be like a mini meet before the real thing, then i can at the real meet.

Well i have two days before i know for a fact that i have the swap. I have bunch of question about the ECU and stuff. And i read something on honda swap about engine removal. I don't really have to take the brake booster out do i. Looks like the engine will lift out without it hitting. So you think i should by new mounts? I've been wnting to do the swap for so long and i was just about to blow $700 on my new suspension and i figured why the hell not just buy a swap instead. and let my blow suspension rideout for another year.

yeah dude im down.. you have an engine lift? I have all the tools we'll need the res. wont get in the way i think you'll need a obd2 pig tail to work with your current wiring unless you're getting the full harness (much eaiser) you can probably find them on line cheaps as hell i've seen obd 2 99-00 SI full uncut harness for ike 80 bucks so im sure the LS will be less

Dude,
the motor i'm wanting to get is in maine and shipping was goingto be $400. My boss just came ot me and asked if i would like to fly to maine and then drive a uhaul back and hit all my stores between maine and vigina so looks like i can just pick the motor up then i'm there. The wire harness is cut. As fot the lift i personally dont' have one but i'll rent or buyone for the project thats no problem.

awesome when you trying to do it (put a whole weekend aside.. from friday night till sunday afternoon) hopefully it wont take that long but putting the motor in is the easy part.. working out the bugs normally takes a whole day and a half.. we'll have the motor in on friday hooked up mid day sat and hopefully running

now im pumped lol when we doing this?
