You need either new motor mounts, or a cefiro crossmember, and the full wiring harness. Other than that, any competent mechanic can figure out the wiring, just make sure you get full harness, ecm, maf, and all the sensors for the motor. Change your timing belt while the motor is out too!!

Since I’'m currently doing that swap myself, I can help you out. I went with the Cefiro crossmember. (or so it would seem)

i thought there was more work involved if you used the cefiro cross member? doesn’t that move the motor back and have to change the drive shaft?

I was told Cefiro crossmember was the easiest as well.
