That will make things easier as long as you don't get in eachother's way... lol. Each of you get on your own little "project" and it will be fine. When it comes time to take out the motor and tranny, 2 people will be AWESOME. Also, when putting the motor back in and trying to line the tranny back up, 2 people will freakin' rock. I would set aside at least 2 days to do this (if you have more, then awesome). Don't be afraid to take your time and make sure everything is done safe. You'll probably be able to take the motor + trans out in one day and then put it back together the next. Don't overwork yourself or rush though, and if you get hung up, just find some help here, and we'll all be happy to help out. Once you do this, doing anything to your car or taking anything out will be a breeze. Get ready to learn a lot and get lots of dirt under your nails. Are you keeping your old motor, because I'm looking to buy an old f22 to fix up... Glad I could help! < Message edited by mbo1985 -- 3/11/2006 4:59:39 PM > (in reply to sportsman1539) Post #: 16

I really recommend an engine jack too! Other than that, lots of metric sockets. That's about it. (in reply to sportsman1539) Post #: 18
