How hard would the swap be for someone who has no mechanical know-how? All I know is from what I've read, I have no actual experience working with cars, how difficult would it be for me to do the swap?

if it is a Turbo swap.. it will be probably a little hard, but it is much long than hard.. but.. you have to get a lot of patience, to read a lot, to check everything in the haine's book, look how it is done before to tear all apart..

You'd be much better off buying one that's already done or get an SVO. That way, you'll have a good running car and can learn as you go. Here's one that would work.....................http://www.turboford.org/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=6;t=007874
