if your going to do that, save up and swap the whole motor. It will be a lot easier. Next time try a search before you get flamed on.

Nope, not a mechanic just someone who likes to work on cars... but I am a Mechanical Engineer. I could have had the project done in a weekend, but I had to wait for my friend with the welder. Then about a week of electrical troubleshooting and it was really complete. It really wasn't as invloving as I thought it'd be.
