Scott,

Agreed.

Other than the donor, & oil pan the only other item is to get the efi harness converted to stand alone use. The stock head pipe can be reused, as can the rest of the exhaust up to and including the muffler. The tail pipe might be usable with mod's.
The stock engine mounts can be adapted to the new home if the person has a MIG and can weld.

If the donor is 2wd reuse the 4l60e - the driveshaft from a PG/th350 can be shortened - locally this is about $70.
