as far as what you need, quite frankly... you need alot...

axles, halfshaft, ecu, shift linkage, if your engines tore down you need a full gasket set. throttle body, not to mention a transmisson, mounts, possibly intake manifold and exhaust manifold, wiring, most all the sensors will work off of a sohc motor assuming you have all that i.e (idle air valve, intake temp. snesor, map, coolant sensors, ect.) also starter, alternator, distributor and much more misc. things... pieceing together a swap from scratch is probally the hardest way to go for you first b swap, but you will figure it out from experience, wich is the best way :thumb: and its a common swap so you can deff. come here for alot of the help..

http://www.fjdistributors.com they have good prices on engine internals (high compression kits) :thumb:

as far as the other stuff check ebay, craigslist, or even this forum :thumb:
