Engine swap threads collection.

Some (not all) helpful Engine swap threads combined here. Hopefully useful to the next persons with similar issue.

 

Mainly about EJ18 and EJ22 for replacing unwanted EJ25s. Some are from USMB and Legacy forums. These threads helped me plenty.

 

Wherever you see good info" it was meant for my situation. ALL of these threads have good info.

 

 

Thanks a million for the advice ! (you guys know who you are)
