You'll probably need engine mounts, fuel pump, new rear, gears, headers/manifolds...

Dont forget new radiator, radiator support and mounts, new suspension, springs, ehxaust, dash gauge cluster (to be picky) and just bunches of crap to do.

Did we mention that you will need the entire ECU and wireing harness for everything? All the vacuum lines and EVERYTHING!
