So, I'm engine swapping my G8 and I decided it would be easier to just drop the cradle with the engine. Mostly because I planned on replacing the cradle from the start (massive bend and twist goin on). Turns out, it was a lot easier to do than I thought. Engine, trans, radiator, condenser, harness.... all perfectly contained on the cradle. I think it was only 4 major wire connection (one of which was inside the fuse box, screw you GM), 6 mount bolts for the cradle, 4 for the trans member, steering shaft, hoses and what not.... Really straight forward. My only gripe really is how heavy the SOB was after it was on the stands. Wasn't ready for that. I thought about doing a write up, but I think someone already has. I Just didnt look for it. If anyone has questions about it, I'll answer em though.
