yea, it should be very helpful, hopefully you have another car to drive in the meantime so you can take things slow and not miss anything....

Wasen't too hard for me. Car was down for about a week. Everthing worked out. If you have the tools and resources go for it. Good, helpful friends will be needed too. A shop with charge you an arm and a leg, plus they will keep your core. Make sure you map out a plan and don't forget anything. I recommed you change your timing belt and water pump before you do your swap. New clutch would not be a bad idea either. I am in the middle of my next swap now...
