hi welcome to the forums.

a surf, a 1uz and google.co.nz.

seriously mate its been done heaps around the world. its becoming a common conversion. there is plenty of write ups around - i know cos i have done mine.

are u wanting manual or auto?

perhapes a better option is to list wat u think u need and people will help rather than writing out a list.

keep in mind the price of engine (which are cheap) is only a small cost of the whole job. the more you do yourself the cheaper.

cheers
