Replacing engines for newbies..

[SpaceWiz]

Hi, just wanted to ask here what you people think.
I have to replace my current engine since it's bascially dead, i got one that's exactly the same as the one i have, this leads me to believe i should be able to change it myself, but since i'm not experienced with car engines im not 100% sure. The one and only thing i have ever done in a car engine is replace the startengine with some guidance. So should i be able to do it? I mean it's exactly the same so i should just have to keep some notes on what wires and stuff goes where and i should be fine?

with tools you can do anything, you need engine crane, stand, know how to splice wires and ure set

Splice wires for an engine that is exactly the same? Seems odd.

I think he meant for general engine swaps those are the BASIC skills/tools you should know.

if you want to make it really easy for yourself, put a piece of masking tape on every wire you take off and write down what it is for on the tape.
