Default Rx-8 ls1

hey I was wondering if anyone can help me. im trying to convert my RX-8 to an LS1 or LS2. I was wondering if anyone can help me by telling me what I will need to do this? I already know that I want the engine, transmission, drive shaft, and wiring harness. what else will I need to make this happen? please help!

Sikky should be releasing the kit for this swap soon, give them a call and ask on the ETA. Will still need more than that kit obv, but a good start.
