I'm thinking about making the swap but wondering if it is some what plug n play or what I want to do it clean not ghetto
 
Why are you thinking g of swapping. The 7 bolt motors are well underrated and can handle a lot of power and abuse. And if you say because your scared of crankwalk you should be kicked in the shins. Every motor can crankwalk. Bit to answer your question you have to modify the motor mount on the driver side and water pump I believe. Also you have to make the harness for the 1g cas.

6 Bolt Swap

As onefast2gdsm said, there is no reason to swap out a 7 bolt unless something is wrong with it.
 
Check out karking.com for their 6 bolt engine swap. Their website is down for maintenance, but I would def. check back in a few days.
 
Proper english would be nice. Its pretty simple to do but it requires some tweaks.
 
Ive done a 6 bolt swap. All you have to do is keep your 7 bolt motor mount cut it to fit then when it fits put the cover plate on the back and shave it to the same as the mount then put your mount on then get your 6 bolt tensioner and tensioner arm and time your motor its pretty simple really you should be able to keep your cas because it bolts to the head just wear the 6 bolt does so your set there then you can use your 7 bolt coil pack. and sensors
