Do you have the clip? Or just the engine and transmission?

I am going from what I have put into my engineIf just engine... 1.) McKinney Mounts to mount the engine in the car. $400 - $600?2.) Clutch master cylander $503.) custom downpipe $1004.) upgraded fuel pump $1005.) adjustable fuel pressure regulator (you might not need this) $756.) 300zx fuel filter $207.) all oil, coolant, and other fluids' $408.) Because you have a 89 you won't need PS lines or speed sensor so you're good there9.) Read my thread about Water pump and you will probably want to do a water pump and timing belt. $250

What things you might need depending on the maintenance of your engine...1.) Coil Packs and/or ignitor... (Infinity Q45 cylander 1 and 2 packs are $120 each.) I have a few working coils around so if you need one let me know. 2.) Radiator3.) Thermostat4.) fuel injectors5.) head gasket (probably not.. that would suck though)6.) Sensors... TPS, Coolant Temp, O2, MAF, etc...

Anyhow... The list on top should get you in and running. You can work on it from there.

Good luck

if you use a mount kit i belive you need a custom downpipe. skyline crossmember and mounts may allow you to keep the stock DP.
