its an easy job to take the engine out as most of it stays in place! just take the batt out, intercooler off if still on top, undo the air con pump and move to where the batt was( saves openning it up and leaking green sh*t everywhere) rad out, water hoses from engine to bolk head off, a few blocks of wires each side of the engine, down pipe off, starter off, 3 more boults for gear box out,undo engine mounts and should be ready to lift out!

when out change anything over that needs change( not sure how complete your new engine is then just reverse what ive said


good luck!!!!!!!!

remove the charcole canister and mounting bracket on the left bloody thing got in my way loads removing my engine, by the time it was coming out was to late and the engine was wedged against it lol oh and watch your headers hitting the air con rad when lifting the engine out .

And don't forget the clutch release pin, by the starter, under the allen key cover, often gets missed!
