I want to purchase a '93 lx, my only complaint is that it's a 4 cylinder.
Looking around the internet, I've found a remanufactured 5.0L VIN E within my price range as well as a manual T5 transmission. Other than the engine and transmission, and I'm assuming headers and exhaust, what am I missing to change out the engine?

First off learn how to use the search function and you will find many articles along with google. But you will need the fuel lines, computer and wiring harness, instrument clusterand other odds and ends. Everyone suggests in upgrading to a 8.8 and changing over the front brakes to a v8 style too which isn't needed but its a good thing to do.

Think He may have to change the K member also I think?

No he does not. Alot of people do so just to take the whole front suspensoin,steering and brakes at the same time to save time. Then you have the brake lines and booster but those are all the little stuff that doesn't have to be changed to make it drivable.

See thats one of the things that will be better but isn't needed to get it on the road . But it is definitely something to look into in the future for the car.
