its pretty straight forward.. some will say disconnect the exhaust manifolds at the collectors.. triple check everything before you attempt to pull it.. also it would be easier and safer to pull the engine out with disconnecting the tq converter.. i picked up a brand new engine from jegs for 2k to my door...

Just out of curiosity, how hard is it to swap out an engine? Assuming of course, you have a means to lift it. Is it really that hard to disconnect everything? How long would you think a swap would take?
