Hi Nino, this engine swap is not hard just compare the two engines and take a note on what bits are in different places and it will make it a lot easier when you go to bolt it in.
What are you doing with your old engine ? I am chasing all the alternator mounting hardware let me know what you would want for them
cheers Ade
