People who have C20XE engine conversions, I need help please...
Just seen me Cav in the light... Fuck. Its a complete mess...
Theres thousands of wires and pipes everywhere, and I now admit I don't have a fucking clue about taking the engine out of it and what parts I need from the bay... Bugger 
Is there anywhere I can find out what parts I need from the cav and what parts can go to the crusher?

Just un-do the water pipes and the take the wires from the engine, get a engine lift to take the weight of the engine, un-do the engine mounts, un-do the suspension, pull the driveshafts out, take anti-roll bar off, and then drop it out.
Easy.

Whats funny, removing a engine is so easy. Bolts might be tight but don't give up just get a longer bar

Honestly, its easy.
The difficult bit is putting it back into another car and wiring it up.

Sounds easy, but when you look in the bay, there is about 10,000,000,000 wires in there, all over the shop. Fucking mess!
