You will need a complete zc longblock, everything else is a straight bolt in. another good place to look in http://www.thezcr.com lots of good zc info

yea all you need is the longblock. I was unfortunate and had an SI with a cx engine/tranny, so I had to buy the engine + tranny, and then I also had to buy the int.shaft and axles to complement that. I would recommend going with the ZC ecu also because of the higher rev limiter.

But, SI tranny has better gearing for the engine than the zc tranny from what I hear. That is a combo a few of my friends went with, and they like it.

yeah id just get the motor and the ecu, it will bolt in with no mods needing to be done, from what i hear, the zc ecu has 112 mph speed limiter, if that doesnt bother you, get that one, it would work the best

No the ZC bolts right in like you were replacing your stock engine with another one.

it all works and fits because they are both d seires blocks.every thing is re usable. however upgrading some componets has an advantage like a si ecu and tranny.
