I'm finally getting around to replacing my worn-out engine. I was able to find an engine out of an '08 KK with only 65k miles and great compression. I'll be picking it up on Monday.
I'm getting together everything I'll need, and have run into a couple of things I'm not sure about:
- Is there an EGR block off plate available for the 3.7? I can find them for other engines, but nothing for the 3.7.
- I believe I will have to tap a hole for one of the power steering pump bolts. Is there anything I have to be aware of when doing this? I don't want to risk damaging the block.
- To mount the engine to an engine stand, do you use the bolt holes where it mounts to the transmission bell housing?
- In order to spin the engine by hand (to be able to get to all the torque converter bolts), I assume the transmission has to be in neutral?
I'm sure I'll come up with more questions once I start working on it... Thanks all!
