Is this something you're trying to do yourself?

First thing I would do is try to get your hands on a copy (hard or digital) of the shop manual. Regardless of weather or not it has the easiest instructions to follow, it undoubtedly has useful information including torque numbers and info on other parts in the engine bay that you will most certainly encounter in the process of the swap.

Unfortunately I don't remember where I got my manual from, but do some heavy google/forum searching and you'll dig it up for sure.

That's all I've got. Good luck!

first off why are you swapping it? is it because your current motor took a dump on you? or because you just want a used motor that has lower miles? even if it has lower miles no guarantee it will run it may have a bad cylinder or something like that. id say save up money and do a rebuild on your current motor or even build it up with new parts.
