check all the sticky threads in this or the new "6" section (which you'll have read access to).

I offer a swap manual as well. Your swap is OBD-II, so my manual is ideal.

Are you planning to go manual when doing the swap?

I will be out of the country for the next week and a half. I will reply to PMs and posts then...

yes im planning to go manual . but what to look for when swapping or what will be needed . ive looked at the other threads but they always go off topic. i need a statement if every thing for my years because everyone else has either a 94-95. thanks

if you can't pound your way through the threads to dig out what you need, how do you expect to actually get through the swap? not an easy task.

thats everything
- no motor mounts or anything. it should bolt right in?
