    it's pretty much a bolt in if you got all the parts. pull your old engine and bolt the new parts in. crossmember, frame mounts, tranny crossmember.:)

    Travis,
    It looks like you are missing a popout window. I have a set that I will let go
    pretty cheap if you need them. Glass is fine. They do not have the bright
    trim, however as the rest of your car does.

    $15 plus shipping to you.

    Welcome to the board.

    If the 6 banger is a 250 then the tranny you have will work.
