OK, so its been fixed for the better part of the day. The mechanic said somethings were loose like sensors near the ac and he also mentioned the wires on the starter bolt not making enough contact(I tightened the sh*t out of them?) It did take him a long time to figure out what the problem was, he called me few times to verify I had done things like tc bolts etc. Anyway it was not a vac leak or anything major just something petty and small I hope, Im not fully convinced by his reason but i dont care at this point as long as it stays working. That cost me 100 alone. I was glad to pay that at this point.
Here's a price break down if anyone cares or is wondering what this might cost. Extra parts not related to engine/trans swap can be deduced from total.
615 Engine(1k miles)
620 Trans(55k miles)
326 radiator hoses wires oil filters fluids coolant plugs carb cleaner etc
140 2 ton hf engine crane
68 tools
40 lower control arm(busted ball joint while separating knuckle to remove axle)
15 crossover pipe (busted it by lifting engine from here by accident)
43 code reader machine
15 3 separate admissions to pick your part
100 mechanic (after i couldn't figure out why car stalled after starting)
1982$
Now if if yore just doing engine/trans only with fluids,plugs wire etc it wouldve only ran me about 1500, I decided to put a new rad and broke some parts as well. I still saved a good amount on whatever i would have paid someone else for labor(lowest quote i got was 1000), some money couldve been saved had i borrowed or rented a hoist or tools but i decided to buy instead, also being careful when removing things could've saved me about 50 bucks as well. Overall it was a great experience I want to try to this in another car. But for now I will be looking into rebuilding the engine i have here, something tells me theres nothing wrong with it. Thanks once again to all he people who spent a lot of their time answering my noob questions having patience and posting pics etc.
