not to state the obvious..... but alll u want to look out for is getting anything that joins the engine to the cars body.

i'd start with the water bits and intercooler... get themm all out of the way so u have room to work then i go at the wiring.... id take all the wire from off the body of the car adn not just go an unplug them all out of the engine cos yer not gonna know what ya need when ya go to put them in the other car.....

then id go at the mechanicall side ie drive shafts and engine mounts.

J100RSA... 1hr an a half??? come on... not a chance? welll maybe if ya had a consaw and werent to worryed how the donner car looked after
