Roy,
I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at your post !!!
I got the impression that they guy was in a "state" of utter confusion !!

Then I realized you were referring to his location !! ~ Silly me !!

Welcome to the forum hpmguy !!!
As you will have seen. we are a happy helpful group.
Best you do plenty of reading before you start.
If you can get a complete car cheap enough it would be to your advantage. There will be many little things that you may need off the car to help with your transplant. A rust bucket with a good motor may be cheaper than a motor only.
The post 82 motors are the best. A federal is better than a Cali.
Dont worry about the EGR, it can be disabled easy enough.

Good Luck !!!!
