Well first off, it is another 420a correct? Swappin a turbo motor would be complete hell, almost anyone here will tell you it aint worth it. If its the same motor, what all do you need to know? Easiest way would be in a shop if you dont have experience in it imo but what specifically do you need info for?

I chain the puller to the car lift the car then use jack stands to keep it up while I hook the chain to the motor and drop it down through the bottom.
