I'm looking to buy a CA sometime in the summer and I was needing a few questions answered. I searched but I couldn't find any answers, I was wondering when you buy the motor from a company does it usually come with all the parts required for the swap?Here is what the swap comes with from jdm-online.com.

Complete Motor - Block and Head 5-Speed RWD Transmission Ignitor Chip MAFS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) Wiring Harness (Complete Uncut) Coil Packs Cam-Angle Sensor Intake Manifold Exhaust Manifold Alternator Starter Power Steering Pump A/C Compressor Turbo

Is there any thing it is lacking other than an intercooler(which i plan to get a fmic before i even think about putting it in) and motor mounts?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Downpipe and possibley turbo outlet. I got my motor from them and it came pretty complete, so it will more than likely have motor mounts, but they might need to be changed out for Nismo units depending on their condition. I'd reccomend upgrading some certain other things as well, such as exhaust, fuel pump, aftermarket fuel pressure regulator, etc. Check the FAQ stickied at the top of the forum if you haven't already, there's a lot of useful information that should more than answer your questions.
