Engine swap questions
This is my first time doing an engine swap and I am going to ask some very rookie questions. I need to swap out my 22re and I am going to be getting a long block. What all needs to come off of my current engine? I already removed the intake, exhaust, and distributor. Also what gaskets am I going to need?

In short you need to remove and clean everything that attaches to the head, block, and crank shaft.
Valve cover, distributor, exhaust, block drain plug, oil pan, oil cooler, engine mounts, oil cooler, starter, knock sensor, oil pressure switch/sender, fuel
You'll likely receive a gasket kit from your builder, its coat effective for them to buy a full kit and send you what is left than to buy just what they will use.
Get on YouTube and look for the video that shows how to pull a 22re in a couple hours, its not the best video ever but covers alot of things that make it easier. In short you want to disconnect the engine harness from the body harness, lay the AC and PS pumps to the side and then take the engine assembly as a single unit. Once that is on the stand its easy to get everything off you'll need to have cleaned and ready to dress the new block.
