Engine Swap

Here is the situation, me and the neighbor went halfs on a project car. We are trying to put a j32a2 into a 92 hatch back. The transmission is a fully rebuilt 2003 cl type s transmission. Today me and some friends are putting the engine into the hatch. The stand alone ECU is in the mail, so no wiring or tuning will be done today. We do not have the time nor money for the tuning at this time anyway. I have just taken my CLS off the insurance because I have my own project going on with that car. Its kind of hard to work on your daily driver often, so that is why I bought a beater car. 800 buck dodge status, I really do not like the new change, but I have to do it if I want to save time and money. Anyway I attached my photobucket link to support the information with pictures. They are separated by albums.

Good Luck

My cl has the Eibach lowering springs, I think the drop is 1.7 for the front and 1.5 for the back. (i think)
