Default Engine swap check list.

Replacing the engine in my 05 Revup car with a LKQ low mileage engine at a local shop.

trying to get together everything i would need or any performance benefits while there.

I have a new engine seal kit and new spark plugs.
coolant. oil . filter.

Putting in a new radiator while it is out from napa. just a stock replacement.
I already have test pipes and a brand new clutch in the car.

I will have the bumper painted while it is off.


any thing else you can think of.
anything else to do while im there.

would consider...?

throw-out bearing if it wasn't done earlier.
new trans fluid, you might have to do this if it spills out during re-assembly/re-installation
flush/fill the power steering while the motor is out
flush/fill the clutch cylinders

and you'll want to add a turbo!!

Would love to try some. but 1000$ for 5-10 HP doesnt seem worth it at this point.
I do have test pipes and a y pipe already.

New throw out bearing clutch and flywheel about 1 month ago.

Good call on trans fluid. i'll see about that.
and the clutch cylinder. it was getting grumpy when hot any ways.

ISRs are 500 bucks. and its 5-10HP on a stock car. You get more out of it the more you do to it. Also Peak isnt all the matters.
