Looks like I will be the lone ranger with the only force-fed M20 around here afterall.

So that PCV hose doesnt connect to the valve cover then? that would make for a massive vac. leak and cause the car to run like potatoes

I'm sorry snap I just don't think its worth it to do the head swap when I could probably source the m50+parts for only a couple hundred more

I don't know where that hose goes to I'll go take a look right now

Nope ur doing the 2.7i build with boost

[Laishes]

So I have the M50 sitting in my garage and I just found out that I won't be able to use the garage at all for the swap. So now everything is up in the air

[Laishes]

Right now the "swap" plan is M50 longblock---> Corolla trunk

whats wrong with doing it in the driveway? 

Monday would be a perfect day for a swap.

lol! my driveway too steep. But it's family stuff.

So the current plan is to get the longblock out of the garage, buy ALL the parts I will need for the swap. And then bring the swap to a garage (First I have to find one... ) and do it over the course of a weekend (preferably a saturday).

doing an engine swap in a weekend is pretty intense. 

Make sure you have competent helpers that can allow you to get multiple tasks done at once.

LIES! Our m20 was junk, but we found another one and we will still be boosting an m20

You upset bassboy by not sending the M50 tps, and you paid the ultimate price.  You are dead Rowley.  

dead. 

Last years ragedrifting accident in the Jetta was a fluke, this time you are really dead.
