Ok, somebody  is missing the point. If you don't have the mechanical
ability to install an engine then don't do it. The video may be nice and
all but it does not replace skill or experience working on these things.
People seem to be thinking that by watching a video they will be able to
install the engine. The Home Depot works on those same ideals where they
have "how to install bathroom tile" video in the tile aisle and 'how to
hang and finish sheetrock' in the sheet rock bay.  Sure, i had some
questions to ask (like that damn power steering pump and what missing
parts look like! tough to install something that you don't know is
missing!!) but all in all, a video is no substitute. If you have a the
balls, i mean skills to install a new different fandangled engine, then
go for it. If you don't then ask some friends over that do!

ok, just my $3990.00 worth
