I'm writing an article on engine swaps, with some pointers and things to look out for. It going to be very general to suit all types of cars and I'd really like as much feedback as possible.

If you were doing an engine swap what would you need? Have you got any tips you'd like to pass on? What engine conversions are easiest to do?
 
In a way yes :) I changed my 8V single cam 4G63 2.0 litre into a 2.3 16V twin cam which involved fitting the front cover from a FWD TC Gallant onto the SOHC bottom end and using the crank from a 4G64 motor with forged rods and stroker pistons that had a 6mm higher pin height due to the 12mm longer stroke.
