I forgot some things in my list. You'd also need the JDM engine harness and the interior parts that wouldn't come on a front cut(carpeting, door panels, window switches and harnesses etc). If you do the swap, you'll need somebody that has a plasma cutter (a jigsaw will work too, but it's more involved) and a competent welder to do the firewall work. For the parts, I'd look to spend around a $1000: 300-400 for the front cut w/dash & steering column, and another 500-600 because the door panels and harnesses aren't cheap. Also, if it were me, I'd pick up a set of JDM sideview mirrors (preferably the power folding ones) because you'll need to see in traffic. The cutting and welding is all up to the guy that you have do it for you and the other work would be free since it's you doing it. I wanted to do the swap myself when I dropped a rod and I had the motor out, but I didn't have enough extra money for the front cut. It's not too bad of a job if you have some decent mechanical skills.
