Definatly do a search. There are a few folks here on the forum who have done it sucessfully and a few who are still in the thick of it. Things like the oil pan, motor mounts, speedo sensor/tranny/tranny mounting system/c-beam mount fabrication and exhaust manifolds/headers will be of great interest to you. That is on top of the normal computer/wiring harness install you will run into.
