    My struggle is time. I have garage and most tools. Gotta get an engine crane though. @Torspd did you get a wreck yard used one or re-built one?

    I have gotten a few wrecker engines.

    Not proud of it, but Harbor Freight was the only place at the time with an engine hoist, in stock. Hasn't failed yet, amd was only around $150. Start to finish, I could knock it out and running in about 8 hours.

    Passenger side valve cover gasket started to seep a little as many do... replaced it last weekend. Doing driver side gasket tomorrow and while I'm in there, adding an XTP intake spacer just for fun.

    Welp. Bought a crane tonight. Have a local friend who’s done a few. The hunt for a used engine begins.

    I started to mount it way back when I did the swap. Unfortunately it would require quite a bit of material removal in order to fit it. I still have it hanging on the wall over my workbench. As a coincidence, I bought the complete OEM oil cooler kit about a month ago from Source One.

    I might install this weekend.

    That is great news!

    And so it begins. 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, amd 17mm. Swivel head ratchet, and angled needle nose pliers. 12mm flex head rachet wrench will also be extremely helpful. 6mm(or 8?)Allen socket for the upper intake plenum.

    I use a rachet strap with the hooks in each head, opposing corners.

    Any pictures of the current intake?

    I've been running like this for years on the swap. When the filter looks a little dirty, I replace it. If this is a bad thing, some one stop me now. One Taco engine swap is enough for me.

    On the driver side valve cover, is that vacuum hose still attached between the valve cover and intake manifold?
