Bought my engine today! UPDATED w/ Pics

Awesome post - should be made a sticky with it's own thread.

I printed it. THANKS!

Not much headway on the swap yet.....I work WAY TOO Much. Started prepping the block and ran into a couple problems to look out for, when using the Mazda accessories, you have to redrill the crank pulley (there is a gateway key to keep it aligned), you just have to open up 4 of the holes a little bit, and you have to use the stock water pump. I will keep you guys posted. Pics to come this coming week(I will be on vacation), It should be in this weekend( I know I have said it before) Wish me luck.

Me and my dad are talking seriously about doing this swap next year (maybe sooner). I just wanna know a few things about the wiring and intake manifold.

If I get the complete engine top to bottom and I use the stock intake, will it tuck under the hood of a stock b? I'm not going for induvidual throttle bodies. And also, how hard is the wiring for the swap. What would I need wiring wise to make all this happen. Would you lose function in the cluster for anything? Are you cutting and splicing a hell hole of wires to convert the harness? If this is as easy as rebuilding a 2.2 then I'm down for sure! I just need somebody to tell me that it's an easy enough swap . I don't wanna loose my daily driver for months haha.

If someone could talk via MSN or email about this I would appreciate any other information on this.
