Well I have decided on doing the engine swap myself. I'm going to drive my engine unit it completely dies then swap it. Right now the only issues I'm having are some what low compression numbers, some white smoke when it is below 50 degrees out and the car has been sitting for over 24 hours, and this leak which looks like it is coming from the HG http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a20...GasketLeak.jpg
Now I have not done a swap on the SC, but I have done it on my dads GTO and brothers Mustangs but that was about 5 years ago........pretty straight forward, so is there any hang up areas I should watch out for in the SC?
Also I'm replacing the following parts when I put the new motor in:
Water Pump
PS Pump
All gaskets except for the HG
Belts
radiator
Transmission Filter
Oil Pump.............or maybe just the seal not sure yet.
Vacuum and radiator hoses
Transmission and motor mounts
Both belt tensioners
Anything else I should look into replacing while I'm doing this?
