- VL Berlina Wagon RB30
Im sure something similar has been asked before but here goes anyway.
I need to remove the rb30e from my vl because its dead at the moment and im replacing it with a 20e for now. disgusting i know. This is the first engine swap i will have done but i am planning to do more so im getting some of the equipment for it. Im getting a 1tonne engine crane hoist, and i was wondering do i need to get an engine load leveler as well? and if i dont NEED to would you still recommend one?
also can somebody show me where to attach the chain to the engine, pics would be appreciated.
this question may sound dumb but i wont be getting an engine stand (to broke) so where do people recommend putting the engine and working on it? should i just quickly weld up some sort of frame to hold it or chuck it on the floor of the garage.
And also how long do you think this swap will take being my first time? can anyone remember their first haha
cheers Ian
