 Just going through the responses now -- they're all great!!!
 
 Adding in my $0.02 -- I thought that I needed a ton of fancy 
 equipment to do an engine swap (350 Chevy V8 into a pontiac
 Fiero).  Working with a good friend taught me that the best tools
 to have in the shop are:
 
 * band saw
 * angle grinders (nice to have one really good one, but having a
 few cheapie ones with different discs ready to go is great!)
 * ......and a good MIG Welder!!!
 
 Used all the above to do all the mods needed to squeeze that motor 
 into that car!
 
 The only thing I would like to have (and certainly my good friend 
 wouldlike me to have so I'd leave his alone :-) would be a lathe.  
 It's next on my list!!
