    *R3v Exclusive* M50 Swap installation & walkthrough



    The following is rated:






    In difficulty, meaning only the top 4% of r3v members should attempt, and only if its under $50 on ebay.

    This is a full, easy to understand how-to on how to (get it) perform an M50 swap in 8 easy steps. As a present to the wonderful r3v community, this will be the quickest and most proficient walkthrough on the internets.

    1.) Key feature that cannot be skipped, remove grilles


    2.) Adjust mirrors




    3.) Screwdriver, a key tool required



    4.) Once these items are taken care of, you remove the M20, as so:












    5.) Allign the Engine hoist, another key tool, as seen here:





    6.) Proceed to remove












    7.) Finished product



    8.) Installation is the reverse of removal

      Steps are the same for an M30 swap, correct?

            You have to drink your beer with the left hand on AUS models.

                        wait wait this won't upset the highly sought after near perfect weight balance of the god's chariot, right? i'm not counting the kiddie in the trunk you picked up at the playground. the trunk tar should help offset that.
