Figure id make a thread on this that people could reference to since these seem to be a bit more complicated than others when swapping due to fueling systems and the capability of not being able to have a standalone unless you pay the big moneys to major companies for a custom one. hopefully this can benefit all since i see this as a great engine to swap...high gas mileage and plenty of power for toys and dd's
im planning on doing a swap in the future but am looking to find out all of the issues, kinks, do's-dont's, ideas etc....... before getting under way
id like to know for starts a few things hopefully people already know the answers...
how much of the computers other than the ecu will i need to get the engine to start?
Do i need to run a matched instrument cluster from the donor vehicle? i would really like to run AM Gauges if possible.
How did you mount your engine in the vehicle.....details like transverse mounted or standard ferwd setup, and angle of the engine?
