Tools/Tips for engine replacement
 
I'll be performing an engine swap within the next few weeks and would like to know what special tools I'll need to make sure the swap goes easy/smooth.

I've done 3/4 engine swaps in the past w/ my old Mx6 with a standing engine hoist and stand along w/ you basic rachet set and extensions.

Thanks in advance

if you are going to be changing the pilot bearing---have a really good puller---the autozone kind will not do it!
You will need a 3/4 pull handle and a big ass socket to get the flywheel off. I forget the size.
