Wiring harness, motor and tranny mounts, CPU, crossmember, coil over for the back unless you want to drill a stud for the quad shocks, and new front brakes/shocks unless this is a dragster you are building... I am sure if I missed anything that someone will post the rest of what you need [Big Grin] [patriot]
