personally i would buy a clip ($2,600) which includes trans, stock IC, piping, misc. crap you know you will need and other crap you can sell to cut the purchase price of the clip in half.
you need to modify the front crossmember and make a trans mount (tech2, mainstream, manictech can all do this as they have kits with DS, mounts, etc. for $1,500) OR you can do it yourself if you know how to weld and have some engineering/car install/swap experience.
add $2,000 for other crap that comes up in the process (power steering lines, fuel lines, 2jz water pump, extending wiring, coolant lines, etc.)
tech2 does have a good kit and is well worth it if you dont have the experience or time to do all the work.
in all i'd say $6,000 is a good number with a few minor upgrades (exhaust, FMIC and associate IC piping, etc.)
good luck!
