Sounds like the car is a whole lot of fun.  Im planing on putting mine down 
on the spring or maybe sooner to start tearing it down.  I want to replace most 
of the suspension parts too while im at itand anything else that looks worn.  
I want to accumulate all parts for the swap before I start.  Heres what i 
have-complete engine with wiring harness and ECU.  I have heard some diff things 
about what to use for the clutch and oil pan.  Supposedly need a v8 manual 
clutch and manual oil pan?  Do i need both engine mounts or just one, and I know 
im going to have to do a custom radiater job.  I think I need the v8 headers 
and im going to do a custome exhaust from there on out, when that time comes 
i'll figure it out.  Oh, and i think i can use an automatic flywheel.  So this 
is what im pretty sure about.  Can you varify these things for me, any other 
paths I can take and what am i missing.  All info is very appriciated, 
especially being my first engine swap.  I have a good mechanic thats also a freind 
along with his son who has a 4ktq and a 90 20vtq.  So i have the help just need 
the parts advice, time, and money. Wow, so thats not alot.  Oh well, should be 
an interesting trip.  have a good holliday.
