Good luck with the swap! Can't wait to see pictures!

Unfortunately, I have very limited "shop time" to do this in, so I don't think I'm going to be able to actually document it as a how-to...
The old engine, I've torn the head/manifolds off, found out the OEM exhaust manifold is a tubular design, and has a huge crack in it (good thing I got one w/ the engine I bought).
I'm going to be pulling it into the shop soon to get the old block out, then power washing under the hood, and then installing the new/used engine. Hopefully, it will start up and run without any problems, even though it sat in the yard so long.
I have to drain/flush the engine before I get the car out on the road, but I'm relatively sure it will be OK.
