I got the engine from my donor 99 LS removed today, only damaged one small ground wire in the process. Ordered a new timing belt, some iridium spark plugs, and v/c gaskets to prep the engine.
It will be getting all the timing components from the 98 motor that I installed last March.
Next step is gut the rest of the interior, and some exterior bits that might be worth something. Hopefully it wont be too difficult to have someone come haul the shell away for scrap. Then I get to do it all over again to put this engine in the 98 LS.
This was a PITA to do in a small 1 car garage and a sloped driveway. (Terrible blurry pic but you get the idea of what im working with)

I have fantasies of a 3 car detached garage with HVAC, proper lighting, and a 4 post lift. Ive got a solid 20 years of life to deal with before thats remotely possible though lol
Im just a broke College student and I cant afford to pay people to work on my cars. The accomplishment of gettin it done is worth it too.

Its just a “simple” engine replacement. I have a 98 LS that is damn near mint but experienced cam pulley failure (bolts fell out). Id rather swap the engine than take the loss of selling it for next to nothing. And im enjoying the process, engine bay is going to be spotless.
