going to do a 3rd gen 3sgte swap soon, already engine shopping as well as other things Options

So as my topic stated I am getting ready to swap engines. I was originally planning on doing this around january but since my 5th gear just went out in my tranny I decided to push it forward. So I will be buying the engine along with the uncut harness and ECU. It will also be coming with the transmission. So here are my questions where I need help, and yes I've searched and searched and found info here and there but nothing really compiled all together. Car info: 94 GT Manual

First question, I know some people prefer to go the route of buying the complete front clip, but at almost a grand more it would be rather difficult for me to do that all in one shot, so what other parts would I need to do this swap.

Next question, I was planning on using my stock tranny but in the condition its in I would rather not. I know its possible to convert the AWD tranny to work with the FWD set-up so if someone can pass along the link of the how to that would be great.

Now obviously this isnt going to happen over night, we are going to be doing this in our shop so labor costs will be down. I am in no real rush so while you guys help me out I will keep searching for more and more info.

Thanks in advanced everyone

Thanks that was a huge help, anyway you can provide an extensive list of parts I would need? As far as the tammy goes should I just rebuild mine then and keep it to make the swap easier? As far as the intercooler goes I love the top mount but I'm going to go front mount. The wiring harness will come uncut

Make sure it does come uncut and it comes with an ECU. I read the discription of my engine over and over, even called before I bought it to confirm everything would be there and uncut. But Im on the road trip to hell myself trying to source out everything.

Everything in rave2n's list plus an ECU n harness.
