I dont think the swap is all that bad to do if you have all the parts needed. The only thing I ran into was the crossmember. I had trouble finding one, but that was 2 yrs ago when nobody was doing the swap. Make sure you get a good clutch too. I also thought the reverse lockout and skip shift had to be hooked up, but they dont. The only wiring involved is the reverse lights. Feel free to ask if you have any specific questions.
