    Engine replacement.

    Hi Guys! I have recently picked up a replacement engine and I am curious to what I should order for seals and gaskets and also what things should I look over before installing the engine.

    The engine I have is the one with K in the vin number "HOT" im sure most of you guys understand that

    Front and rear main seals, you wanna drop the pan and clean it good. Also may be worth just doing a headgasket and having the stock head decked. I would, but not everybody would.
