It's a very easy swap. The hardest part for me was picking that heavy SOB up.That thing is heavy. I have a lift so everything was waist level. If you have lift side extensions take them off. I had mine running in a few hours.

Did you leave front motor mount in or bolt to motor?

Have you purchased the components to go in the primary yet?

I left it in. I removed the two bolts holding the motor to the mount and pulled it out. It made it a lot easier that was. I did it by myself from start to finish. Very easy.

Motor is in place, the thing that help the most was putting a pancake jack on the bottom used a 2by4 to help line it up,

I pretty much did the samething. I grabbed the jack out of my car and a 2x4. Worked like Charm.

 I bet your still smiling from your ride. 141 Tq - did you stay with the belt?

[artanner1]

Yes, I'm not going to hammer this motor, don't get me wrong I will twist the throttle, don't like to do burn outs, it will spin the tires, found that out trying to loading it on the trailer,
