I highly recommend you copy/paste BV's post into a .doc and print it out. I also highly recommend you change the damn spark plugs while the engine is out. that way you don't have to break your neck doing it when the engine is in. Timing belt too. NEVER neglect your timing. and make sure you don't break the tensioner...... or saw through it.

Yea Im switching out the denso plugs and the msd wires i have on my engine to the next.... Should I replace the water pump too? and one more stupid question... Can I get headers for like a 2002 stratus(which is what the motor is coming out of) and fit them on my car? or no?

so you're pretty much asking if the headers for your engine.. will fit on your engine? they should work fine.

I believe Matt knows not what he types  ... IF you read the 3.0 swap info it states that the 2.5 headers will work the 3.0 WILL NOT... The 3.0 headers come down in a totally different area and hits the kframe /crossmember and won't line up with existing downpipe... the 2.5 headers bolt up just fine with the downpipes being in the right location ... |

start taking the engine apart...making it easier on the guy when he comes back..remove the intake and exhaust manifolds. those arent bad...d/c some of the wires...(no cutting)

USE LOTS OF PBLASTER [PB Blaster as people call it] ON THE BOLTS! You don't want to use a generic Water Displacement spray formula number 40. Use the best bolt loosener spray or rust penetrant you can get your hands on. And DO let it set for a little before you go willy nilly on the bolts and snap the heads off.
Ziploc baggy the bolts and use a sharpie to write the part they came from. With an engine dissasembly you do NOT want to lose bolts or cross thread stuff.
