Default A4 to M6 swap

well ive been wanting this alot and its finally coming true... my dad owns a junkyard and a mechanic shop...and at the junkyard.. they got a 96 camaro SS in the other day... 40K miles M6 ...and it was rolled over going 120... eek...

but anyways... my dad agreed to let me do the swap in the bird. so this weekend... slammed-am and I are taking my car to the shop and doing the swap ourselves with the help of my dad and one of his mechanics... the swap includes... engine, tranny, ecu, pedal assembly, all lines and stuff...

my question is for the people that have done this SUCCESSFULY before... what problems will i run into?..

I'd check that that engine didn't lose oil pressure and mess up some bearings after being upside-down.....

Hell I'd pull the engine apart and put h/c on it, if it's going to be out rebuild what you can and mod it. You shouldn't have any problems as long as you put the correct PCM in the car...

I just finished the swap last weekend. Here is an awesome sight: http://www.afrashteh.com/tranny_pics/T56.htm
Everything was very straight forward and only took a day to swap. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
