ylstaffer Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I would just leave the 53 together and swap it in. Be sure to get the correct ECU. You'll want to do a bunch of other stuff while the engine is out/drained too like all the hoses, seals, pcv, timing belt etc. so it'll run you a bit of $$ but if you like the car enough and know the history, i.e. no accidents, rust, etc. then it is definitely worth it. Consider the condition of your trans too. might be worth sourcing a newer or rebuilt one to mate up. Good Luck. Hmmm, that's really tempting to just swap it in as is. All I'll need to change is the ECU? I wonder if all the emissions stuff will be the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
