[QUOTE="MustangChris, post: 1241795, member: 10830"] so, I too did a 4v swap and here are a few pointers: Are you going power adder? If yes, pick your engine based on that choice. (Turbo, centrifical = B head -- positive diplacement = C head.) next choose your method of madness. The cleanest, easiest, and most reliable way of doing the swap is to get a donor car (I highly suggest it). You can do the swap without the computer from the donor car, without the parts from the donor car, etc - but its much easier if you get them. Skip the modifications for now. Just get it in, and get it working. I spent YEARS and tens of thousands of dollars modifying my 4v swap just to have it blow after 6 weeks. If you do modifications, do the exhaust for now and call it good. Headers are a pain in the ass.... get them out of the way. after that its easiest to troubleshoot problems on a stock engine.
