Like the title states. I will be embarking shortly on my 1st engine swap ever. Gonna be swapping a built k20a2 into my ep and using my JRSC on that also.
I guess I am posting this to get help on what to look out for and or any tips or tidbits of helpful info to make this a relatively uncomplicated event.
Can someone post a link or point to a resource that I can follow as a loose guide for my swap?

oh yeah!! check out the sticky's as well. tons of good info in there.
well after going through this once already not too long ago, i'd suggest the following:
- take the engine out through the top. you'll need a lift.
- if you're going to use the a2 crank pulley then make sure you get the right belt. i forgot the size of the belt when using the a2 crank pulley and the ep3 idler pulley. i think it may be a 64 but i'm not 100% sure. you can re-use your stock belt if you re-use the a3 crank pulley.
- remember to modify the shifter to get into reverse. i used a picture that talonxracer put up as reference. i think it was deleted though. maybe he can post the picture up again.
- if the engine has been sitting out for a while you'll most likely have a vaccum leak. i had a vaccum leak when i cranked up the engine the first time. turns out the idle air control valve was stuck. i took it apart and some wd-40 did the trick.
sorry to thread jack but....lol londonep....when i saw your avatar it looked like cartmans eyes were boobs and his little mouth was a belly button.....i died just know laughing
