OK, ...i'm picking up a replacement engine today so there goes the weekend!
hope to have it up & running by monday, fingers crossed all goes to plan.

Swap the injectors of the replacement engine with the ones of the engine still in the truck - it could save you a few hours of filthy work....

hmmm, i don't understand, why shouldn't i just put the replacement engine in, injectors & all? The dude told me the engine i'm getting was recond 'top to bottom' a couple years back('insert tui label here').
being out of a van, i will probably need to swap the oil pans & i'll be throwing a new timing belt into it & changing filters & fluids at the same time, while its out. also i intend to get loose with the degreaser & clean the engine/bay.
the hardest part is the power steering hydraulic connector which is a 17 & it doesn't want to budge. apart from that only the engine mounts/exhaust flange need undoing & out she comes...(almost sounds too easy huh)

I retract my previous statement.
