Default Best resource for SWAP

whats up...well im doing a b16 swap into a rex and Ive found about 8 resource sites......I have mostly every thing for the swap got my mounts, shift linkage, resistor box, throttle cable, but still need axles and once the engine gets here ima send my wire off to rywire and im also going to get some radiator hoses.

1.) Do you have to bend the back cross-member to fit the mount?
2.) Water pump, timing belt, distributer cap and rotor, spark plugs and wires, valve cover and spark plug o-ring gaskets, clutch....how much would it cost for all this to be replaced?
3.) and whats the best site to follow...I mean I have a bunch of sites just wondering what everyone else used and how it worked?

um.. its going to be more than $60 lmao. the water pump alone is going to be like $30-$50 from the places ive checked. timing belt depending on how seriouse you wanna go, $30-160 (remember, if the timing belt snaps your engine is fucked, so you wanna leave your motor in the hands of a cheap oem replacement?), plugs and wires maybe $40 total if going oem, an entire oem gasket set will run for around $100, the clutch itself i dont know, most places ive seen sell it in kits not single

so ya please tell me where you are getting all that for $60? I'm planning on spending $250+ for most of that
