Do u guys think I'm missing something?
I know i need a special driveshaft, but I'm getting that done overhere in a shop were they fix the truck one's.
Any sugestions?

 

dont forget money...you definitely going to need some of that!

 

dunno how old you are but a case a beer (if not old enough, just some beverages) and a pizza to help keep the friends happy while they help and having a good ole time working on the car with some friends and jamming to some tunes

 

^ pizza and music make time fly by.

Oh you going to need engine mounts for the swap.

 

I've heard that I can use the engine mounts from the skyline, that the only problem is that I have to sand off a piece of metal from the bottom part of the hood. And I gotthat covered since I made my own fiberglass hood, specialy designed for this swap, with a hood intake thingy.

And the hot pokets are pizza flavored. Beer makes you de-hidrate, and drunk is not a good state to be when you're working underneath a 2K pound car, or lifting a 600 pound engine. I would see too many striped bolts and such...

 

From everything I’ve read, go with some custom motor mounts. The motor will sit lower and it will line up nicely. You'll be spending a lot of money so do things right the first time!

Also you should get a new fuel pump and water pump.

 

I dont mean drink till your shitfaced, a beer or two during the day never hurt anybody

 

You will need fans, thermoswitch/fan controller, spark plugs, clutch, thermostat, timing belt, tensioner pulley, idler pulley, fuel filter, fuel pump, oil filter, air filter, McKinney mount kit(trust me its worth the $$), drive shaft, gear oil, engine oil, coolant, autotrans oil, PS line (depending on year of car), RTV, power steering belt, alternator belt, waterpump & minimum 3" exhaust. I think that's it.

 

I think you got everything. Just take it nice and easy and dont forget to get some rest in between, especially when things get frustrating and aren't going smooth.
Good Luck
And Post Pix!!!!
