Thanks for the info. I'm pretty confident this will all go fairly well despite being a pretty intensive job. I couldn't comfortably sit back and shell out $2500-3000 for someone else to do the work on my car when they aren't even going to warranty the labor if the engine they sourced is junk. Plus I have basically every tool already minus the engine stand and crane which I bought both this weekend from Harbor Freight for under $200 using a 20% off coupon.
The only problem I'm having now is sourcing a good motor. Besides LKQ Online, Car-part.com and eBay I'm pretty much out of places to look. I'd love to buy the replacement motor asap but I also don't want to rush myself and get a shitty motor.
