I just finished my new 4.0l and am planning to swap it this weekend. Anyone have tips to help it go smooth? I have several guys helping
(Manual trans 4wd extended cab)
 
Lefty loosey righty tighty and make sure everything gets plugged in.
 
Install the engine plate... touque the flywheel... lube the pilot bearing... properly align the clutch... replace the slave cylinder/throw out bearing.

It's always about the angle of the dangle. A way to tilt the engine and a jack under the transmission will get you there.

Luckily got a brand new tranny,clutch, slave and pilot. Would you recommend removing the tranny to pull the engine?
