The sticky doesnt specify every item needed and was hoping someone could shed some insight.

if it came w/ the cross member then you can use that instead of mounts, its about 10 wires to wire should take about an hour.

Get an rb20 tach

Not trying to rain on your parade; but before u buy from the source that gave u that discription,I'd ask for some pictures and some compression and leak down results at the least...If they're telling u that ur rb20det includes a distributor I'd be warry...

All u need is the motorset with maf and igniter, a conversion harness if ur not going to wire the motor yourself,a mount kit or xmember,fluids...And if ur me... A gasket kit,oil pump,water pump,timing belt,tensioner,rearsump,idler pulley, clutch,flywheel,headgasket,headstuds,and a fmi...But I'm not nearly done with my build

And remember to change your belts including your timing belt before you put the motor in the car.

I am no longer buying it from the source above in the first post, but from jdm-online who will supply a video of the compression test, firing up and so on :-)
