Bought my engine today! UPDATED w/ Pics

I bought a 2002 Kia 2.0(complete) with ECM today.....with 22000 miles on it, should be in the truck next weekend(out of town this weekend) and then I get to start wiring. I will be sure to take lots of notes just in case anyone else wants to do the conversion. Anyone have any tips for me?

I will, and will write up everything I can.

o def john.
with the site starting to be fine tuned, in the next year we really want to start pumping up our tech section. so this would be a great article to have in there. it would be a great contribution to the site.

good luck bro!

COOL, I HOPE THE SWAP GOES EASY FOR YOU!

Here are a few pics of the engine .....





I will (hopefully) get it in this weekend.

Call me stupid, but why Kia engine? Will they bolt up? I need a motor for my truck and if a fuelie eng will bolt in then i might got that way myself.

johnh2os, congrats, the motor looks in good condition! keep us posted


okdraggernc, yeah it should be a direct bolt up... but you need the kia harness

Sweet how much did u pay? Seriously do a write up or let us now what to look out for.

I paid $900 with tax, motor complete, top to bottom(no accessories, but B2200 stuff bolts right up), wiring harness, and computer.
