Re: ok suspension guy's ?

It will all bolt in as one piece. The only issue is the rear-most bolts. They are slightly off. You just have to drill those two holes and you are good to go.
The biggest head-ache of this is supporting the engine while doing the swap.
It would be far easier with the engine out, but I wouldn't go to the trouble to pull it, unless you intend to anyway.
