yeah, passenger tire, and that plastic cover piece, under the splash guard, its held in with 3 plastic clips, make sure the balancer is the first thing you do when doing the swap, just in case you need to do the starter trick.

Now lets say I run into more money down the road? Well then maybe ill invest in a 3.8 pulley. To be honest with you thought 3.8 is just wishful thinking. A stock pulley is what I will be running and with my current mods knock will be of no concern. I just do not have the money to invest in rockers and knock-eliminating items when I won't have that much knock to be worried about in the first place.

the 3.8 pulley is the stock pulley size. That's why i said getting the 3.8 mps pulley is a waste unless your going to be swapping pulleys all the time.

you need a scan tool, it would be foolish to do the swap without one...

get the headers, you can find them in the f/s threads all the time lately, check zzp for black friday sales.

I think you might need to do some more reading on the subject also, if money is an issue then you really shouldn't be modding in the first place.

using the L36 your more prone to knocking, you really want to have no knock at all.
