Default swaps

Are NOT easy, fun, cheap, and they don't go to plan.
discuss.

I took 2 days, did 2 engine swaps, and the only thing I didn't see coming was busting 2 extensions trying to get that f*ing axle spindle nut off.
Oh yeah, and I forgot to hook up my alternator
But then again, I did a ZC into an 89 crx.

Well depending on the swap is how easy it is. Haven't really run into a HARD one yet though. Then again I've never done a K20 swap yet.

it's all about the knowledge and experience...i did my first engine swap being 17 and just what i learned on here...needless to say nothing can substitute for experience. now that i've done it i could easily do the same swap in about half a day, my first took a few weeks to get it to run.
