Did u buy a long block? Check your rings and check your valve seals. Make sure they r new. Make sure they r ok. Trust me. 12,000 miles later and it smokes you'll know why lol. Just check em home slice. Make sure they r ok. If u need any help pm me. I've done this swap. It's fun lol

Well. Your going to have to remove the heads witch is not hard. Check your valve seals. And also check ur rings when the piston comes to the too of the block. It prob is fine. But unless u built it. U don't know for sure. U just don't wanna have a prob in 10k miles ya know. Take about an hr to make sure ur good

1233481_590943764281627_1409178198_n.jpgWell, I spent 5 hours on it yesterday afternoon, went and got my order of parts (minus the motor, already had that), and then put another about three into it last evening. I've got everything pretty much stripped off the block....ready to pull tonight after I get home!
