I got my new motor with most of the things I need. however there are a couple of things that I need help with.
the fuel lines were cut and bent so that it will need replaced. do I have to replace the whole fuel rail, or can new lines be attached to the current one?
and this plug was messed up, any suggestions of repairing or replacing this.
The fuel line you could get another. It screws into the fuel rail. YOu could also use fuel injection hose and not worry about it. Your call on that.
As for the connector, well if you know someone how has messed with wiring before you could re-pin that.

my wiring experience is limited, and the one person I would trust to do it is literally out of the country right now.
I'll look at mine when I get home. it looks like they fill the sockets with some sort of material to keep moisture out. if that material will come out easy, it might be a very simple crimp job.
I'm doing an Eco swap as well, and my harness is in a box in my room. I'll take a look at it when I get home.

I have gotten stopped on doing this swap several times due to life happening at the wrong time. If you don't mind me asking what did your run you, In case it would be better to just replace the whole thing? they threw it in with the motor and transmission. now all I need are the little things and some help from a friend to put it all together.
I paid $180 shipped from a wrecking yard down in Tucson, Arizona. of course, I live in Phoenix, so shipping wasn't expensive.

the fuel line can be replaced with either new lines or fuel hose. it comes apart, just gotta go buy a big wrench to do it with
as for the wiring, upon closer inspection, it looks like it can be salvaged. it'll just take some work, but it looks like only 4 or so wires are slightly iffy, so its not like it has to be completely thrown out.
