About to start the process of swapping my 4cylinder 88 with 302. Will be my first time doing a swap such as this. Any tips/advice is more than welcomed and links to helpful forums. Thank you

Have the donor car ready for the full swap. Label shyt in zip zlop bags and take a lot of pictures before you start pulling shyt out because you'll forget what goes where lol. It's pretty simple just start slow and take baby steps. Other then that good luck and have patience because their is going to cussing alot. Couple friends, beer, and music will make life easier and will be fun but skip the bullshit and start wrenching. Have fun!
