Did you steal the skyline to use the motor in your LN130? Is that what the links about?

wasnt it hard at all. i spent alot of time getting engine ready to drop in like cam belt etc. if you do it make sure you get starter motor rebuilt. its a prick to get towith engine out let alone in. mine was so stuffed it couldnt be rebuilt. i went auto for a few reasons: 1 i wanted auto 2 most motors come with auto cos they not worth a thing 3 auto surf transfer bolts straight up. i guess if i worked out the hours prob be 60 hours tops doing swap.
