B16 Engine Swap Tools

I tried to list the tools I used for the swap.  This is helpful if you are doing this yourself.  Make sure you have these things, or budget to buy them.  You can get by without some of these items, but I don't recommend it.

Engine Hoist
Engine Leveler (optional)
Jack
Jack Stands (2 or 4)
Ramps (if only 2 jack stands)
Torque wrench (from 25 ft/lbs to 140 ft/lbs)
½ inch Impact Wrench
½ inch Impact swivel
½ inch deep well metric impact sockets
3/8 inch drive metric sockets
3/8 inch drive ratchet with several lengths of extension
Metric wrenches
Ball Joint Splitter
4 lb hammer (BFH)
Channel lock pliers
Buckets / Oil pans
Hack saw (Reciprocating Saw is better)
17mm Crow's Foot (for back mount bolt tightening)
½ inch Allen wrench (for weird mount bolt)
Creeper or cardboard for under car
Wire cutters
Soldering iron
Many different screw drivers
Eye protection
Disposable rubber gloves (for the messy stuff)
