Google. I would say there are at least 1000000000000 people that have done this exact swap you are doing LOL. You are going to kill yourself by running an engine on a cheap engine stand. Put that sob on blocks on the ground, bolt up a tranny before you try running it up in the air on a cheap harbor freight stand.

I will try to help you out with question the best I can because I have done this swap. But before I dropped that engine in the car do a leakdown and compression check on it before you spend all of the time and money trying to get it driving.
