Transplant

Just picked up up my Jasper 5.8 to replace my ailing engine. Anyone have any tips on a successful transplant? Today I was cleaning out my shed so I have a place to work, Hope to begin removal tomorrow. Wish me luck, it has been several years since I swapped engines.

Label everything as you take it apart and take some photos before you start (esp. of the vacuum lines.)
The last one I did was finished over a week and there were a couple "wtf is that?" moments. Pics would have sped up the process.

couldn't agree with bbf385 more, take pics like it's your first baby.

Don't label or take pics of anything, by the time you get it back together you'll be more intimate with how everything goes and what everything is.
