I'd check that that engine didn't lose oil pressure and mess up some bearings after being upside-down.....

Hell I'd pull the engine apart and put h/c on it, if it's going to be out rebuild what you can and mod it. You shouldn't have any problems as long as you put the correct PCM in the car...

I just finished the swap last weekend. Here is an awesome sight: http://www.afrashteh.com/tranny_pics/T56.htm
Everything was very straight forward and only took a day to swap. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
