Need Help with Engine Swap

[GhostSpooLrTK]

Theoritic Quesiton;

I want to drop my 7bolt out of my TSI, and jack a new 7bolt up into it.

Can anyone tell me if there is a VFAQ for something like this? Im talking a complete whole engine. I have no idea how hard it is but i really want to fiure this out BAD.

Plz help if you can.

You want to go up through the bottom? I dont think that will work. Get a cherry picker and pull it UP and out. Basically all you have to do is unbolt the motor mounts, take the axles out, xfer case, driveline, disconnect the downpipe, all electrical connections and hoses, intake pipe and IC pipes, pull the radiator if you want, chain it up and take it out. You can do it with the transmission still attached on a 1g, dont know about 2g however.

I was scared the first time I did it too. Now that I have done it, its not even that complicated. Anyone with common sense and tools can pull it off.

You can drop the motor out the bottom if you want. It can be done.
