Default Motor Swap

I'm getting ready to do a motor swap this weekend and was wondering if anybody knew of some write-ups or anything that would help with the tear down on the K-member, suspension, etc. I'm hoping to get it all done this weekend if I get my head gaskets soon enough.
Vince-- if you see this I'll let you know how it goes.

im getting ready to do the same thing, I think cerebrex had a writeup not too long ago, do a search and you'll find it. where are you located? are you using a lift to drop the kmember and motor out the bottom? I want to drop mine out the bottom but dont have a lift, so Im gonna just have to jack the car up REAL high.

I'm in Little rock AR and yes I will be using a lift to do the drop. As for your situation you can use an engine hoist to lift the car instead of jack stands. Thanks for the heads up
