Engine swap questions/tips

[Captainfab]

I would suggest trying to find a fellow board member that is local to you that is willing to lend an experienced hand. Tackling something like this for the first time by yourself can be an expensive learning experience. One thing you can do to start is pickup a couple of books/manuals/DVD's on building a small block Chevy, and read them cover to cover a couple of times. You might also check out You Tube for some vids there on rebuilding engines. I know for me it often helps to actually see what's being explained versus reading it.

When you have specific questions, post them(pics always help) and there are a several guys here that are willing to help.
