Message Have you done anything mechanical related before? Changed your oil? Safely lifted the car?

If the answer is no to those questions, then you'll be WAY in over your head in attempting an engine pull as your first car related activity.

Also, you don't just slap an undocumented JDM engine into your car - it would be a fools errand. It would need at least a 60K job (timing belt, water pump, seals, etc) and more than likely a new oil pan (since most JDM engines come with a dented pan.

More research needed before you end up in a situation where a previously running car gets sold (or worse) parted out since you can't get it back together.
