set aside a weekend. get a couple of mates round with a half decent set of spanners and sockets and a haynes book of lies and get cracking. ive ended up helping out with a few..some more voluntary than others. its not a difficult swap. its just labour intensive. im about 40 miles away from ipswich if you get massively stuck ;)

Before I did mine I hadn't even changed a set of brake pads. I had help removing the drive shaft from the gear box and aligning the clutch but that was it. If you dont need your car for a week, and you can borrow something else give it a go.

engine crane is a must as are axle stands and a jack, 2 if you can get hold of another :thumbsup:

i did my 2nd engine conversion with jam, we breezed it in a weekend, where as it took me and a mate of mine near on 3 weeks on and off when i 1st attempted it

all i can say is read the haynes manual and the links i put up really well and you'll be fine

if you get stuck we'll be here to help :thumbsup:

anyone close by down south i'm always willing to come lend a hand so i'm sure we can work something out :thumbsup:

Engine crane is the best option, however I have seen people 'drop' the engines out, basicly lifting the car up over the engine. Halfords do kits for like £30 or something silly which will have a jack and two axle stands, well worth buying as they will always come in handy anyway, not just for this project.

Engine hoists can be rented for like £40, or try and find someone you can borrow one off. Engines are heavy things, but you can lift it with other things (I've changed an engine with a fork lift before).

Unless something goes horribly wrong, you will not be needing any 'caskets'.

Its best to change the gaskets as a matter of course. Its also a good idea to put on a new water pump/ cam belt whilst you are at it. Although you are talking about another say £100 in parts, you will have a more reliable engine and avoid exspensive future costs if the water pump does fail.

Also think about changing the clutch/ you would probibly need a new one anyway.

i ended up just buying a hoist as i think i may need it again in the future and the price of hiring it twice is more than buying it once, lol
