Need Alignment After Engine Swap ???
Just curious...... I'm not sure all that gets removed when pulling an engine.
Do you need to get a new alignment ???

If out thru bottom, then yes you will need an alignment because your entire front suspension would have to be removed and reinstalled for removing the engine from the bottom.

Also, if the new engine weight was different enough to change the ride height in the front.

I doubt there's much difference in weight but you can check the ride height with another stock car.
