well swap went very smoothly!! i started friday afternoon and finished at about noon sunday. i could have had it done much faster but i did the grunt of the work myself. i had some hands for about 3hrs on friday and 2hrs on saturday. i bought a jap motor so the oil pump had to be swapped for the crank sensor and to do that i had to drop the oil pan on both motors. she runs great besides a part throttle stumble that i had on the old motor. so i am going through to check sensors, cap/rotor, tps and such today and swith anything out that is needed. thanks a bunch for the advice jdmeg6hatchy, much appreciated!!!!!!!

i had to take out the oil pump on the JDM motor because it didnt have the boss for the crank sensor since it is a OBDI motor in Japan. then i had to swap the accessories and intake manifold along with the motor mount bracket shown above. it started right up and runs good. it feels much stronger but i guess it would be a bad comparsion considering the stock ls motor wasant makign the power it should have.
