Dude i wouldn't go messing around with a swap if you dont have friends who are mechanically inclined/have prior experience. I helped a friend do an LS/vtec swap. We had to rent probably $240 worth of tools from autozone (even though its a deposit, you still have to have the money upfront). It took us a week and a half working on it probably 5 hours a day. personnaly i would rather pay the extra cash to have it done professionally. i really dont like playing around with important stuff on my car. the moste involved thing i ever did on my car was to replace the fuel pressure regualtor. h: I mean if u want to go for it, but u gotta realize that its a BIG job, and you gotta have all these special tools to get the engine out, not to mention an engine hoist.
