4g63 motor swap help needed

[99slvrgsx]

so i am swapping out my blown 7 bolt from my 99 gsx with another 7 bolt, does anyone have a step by step manual on how to do this or know of one on the net. i have looked all over and cant find it, this is my first swap on A DSM and want to do it right. i would have posted on the 4g63 tech forums but it wouldnt let me since i am new and all. thanks

You don't need an online tutorial. You need some more confidence and patience.

I would however recommend buying some literature like a Chilton's manual, a Hayne's manual and possibly a FSM on CD. Just take your time, make sure you label EVERYTHING and maybe take a few pictures with a digital camera if you have one when you start taking things off.

like stated before best to label everything with tape and a marker, and place all bolts and misc in labeled ordered baggies, my first swap took a 2-3 weeks because I labeled everything and ordered everything nice and neat, it's always best to have a chilton and haynes. but if you label everything the install should be fairly quick.

thanks guys, i have a haynes manual, and a chiltons cd, they just dont show how to remove the motor, just how to disassemble it as if it were staying in the car, i have done a few honda swaps, so the axels, drive shaft, mounts and all that i know, do i need to take the transfer case apart from the tranny or can it stay on, as well as do i need to remove powersteering and ac uinits for the motor to clear the bay and come out ok.
