If doing the engine swap yourself you should also get the tools and learn
how to change the flex plate/flywheel and set the crankshaft end play. You
will also need to swap the lower engine to transmission mounting studs.

Found a locally rebuilt 2.1 w/all accessories, exhaust system, EFI, rails...
But an auto transmission. Bringing it to Portland OR tmw.

Who knows a Portland shop that will swap the auto flex plate for my manual
trans flywheel?
