Lol, damn, I didn't know guys could have babies... Shit, thats going to hurt.

J/K...

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? I mean, are you wanting to pay someone to do the swap for you? Or are you wanting someone to come to your place and bring their engine hoist? Or are you planning on bringing your engine and car to someones house with the engine hoist and tools? Be a little more specific on what kind of "help" you are looking for.

Also, what to you have as far as tools, compressor, etc... goes? Somebody looking to help you is going to ask, so...

To an extent, I can "help" you probably. I just need to know what you are wanting, lol.

Well, I have no way to come anywhere or bring an engine hoist either, so... Sorry. I am sure there is someone close to you. Hell, if not, go buy one at harbor freight(like 150 bucks, if that) and just tear into it...

If you are short on money right now, you definately don't want to start an engine swap... Lots of stupid shit comes up and you need fluids etc... Make sure you have at least a few hundred extra bucks in your pocket before you start. Sometimes you get lucky and have most of that money left but more often than not, you don't. Its always good to do a new clutch, timing belt or chain(chain on yours), main seals, tune up items, etc. If you are going to do it, do it right, don't half ass it because if you do, you will be pulling it back out for some stupid 50 dollar part...
