Yea it was lot's of fun swapping my engine, had a few set backs but it came out well. My first set back was forgeting to put the original flywheel sensor on before bolting the engine to the bellhousing! Dropped one of the bolts down in the torque converter area trying to put the sensor in! Was lucky to get that back out then loosened the bellhousing bolts and moved the engine forward enough to get the sensor on. Then my starter decided to fail as well! Oh well just another $130.00 for a re-built starter. I left the coil wire off then cranked the engine till I got oil pressure, put the coil wire back on and much to my surprise it started right up! I guess I must have done okay with getting all of the sensors and injectors plugged in correctly! If I have to do this job ever again I will label the wires and hoses better! My original engine was a 1992 and the used one I put in was a 1994 with the oil squirters. I think this engine should last longer with those. The only thing that looked different on the engine is the used one has a EGR tube and the original one did not? I had no place to plug in the EGR valve? Will I have issues with the emissions test if this is not working? All in all the new/used engine runs sweet and is much stronger and makes less noises then the original one! Thinking of re-building my old engine. How much would a re-built 1992 740 Turbo engine complete with the manifolds & turbo be worth?
