prepping l26 swap

[GOINDEF]

Hey i just want to have you guys throw things out there to make sure i'm not forgetting anything to do this swap.

I'm taking a stock l26 and putting it in my l36 1998 gt.
I've got engine and trans oil, the flywheel bolts, the TB adapter plate, I'll be swapping my mods from the l36 over to the l26.

I'm using the aluminum upper intake manifold, so i dont really have to worry about the whole coolant plugs in the LIM right? everything should be fine there?

I'll be swapping the power steering pump, A/C compressor.

I've got a newer style alternator.

Does anyone know how many or what sensors or plugs have to get swapped?

I've got the SD headers so all the exhaust stuff is set.

I just want to make sure I'm not forgetting anything or have something missing

Thanks to everyone for all the help and advice, I'll take some videos and pics of everything as I go and then let you know when its all done and how it runs

come on, nobody can give me a hand and just toss some thoughts out about if i need anything or watch out for anything??

im not sure but on the l32 the evap is a little different, the map is different, and the TB is different. if you have the l26 already just go out and take a look. if it doesnt plug in then it needs to be swapped but most of the sensors are the same.

Relatively it's easy.

Do a search on pcv and evap for the L26 and you should be all set.

Flex should be dual drilled, no worries there
Swap rear exhaust mani if you are staying stock exhaust
Otherwise..it's all straight forward.

yes i have SD headers so that wont be a problem. I already did a trans swap twice on my 2000 GT a while back so i've got the whole routine down pretty well. Thanks guys for the help

Patience for what? Slow and steady gets the job done every time!
