Feel free to add.

1) Front clips would have been much easier

2) If you order in early winter you will learn patience cause you don't want to swap in cold weather.

3) Parts add up very quickly

4) SCC is full of ****.

5) The only way to do an SR swap for under 3,000 is to get a front clip and do almost nothing to the engine.

6) You will breath a sigh of relief when you find that it still has the stock clutch (and another one if it's in good condition).

7) Your "want" list increases exponentially vs time you spend looking around.

8) Friends who help you with jacks, engine lifts, etc aer worth their weight in gold.
