 Posted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:41 am Post subject: Engine Swap |
 |
|
Okay, i'm finally getting around to this engine situation once and for all. The shop that i wanted to do the swap is taking too long to call me so i'm going to do it myself. This will be my first time doing major work on the car and i want to know what im getting myself into, parts and tools im going to need etc. Thanks in advance for the advice.

just a regular ol' 924 2.0. I wish i had time for something like a V8 but at this point i've gotta keep it simple.

Oh too easy. You'll need an engine crane, a ratchet, 10, 13, 15, 17, 18 and 19mm sockets and a case of beer.

Is there a specific brand of beer Porsche recommends?
