Everything that is required for a normal swap. The ECU will be the only problem. Get a rechipped P28 and you should be good to go.

Will it still be OBD2 or will it be OBD1 with the new ECU. Also do I need to swap distributors and such. Can you give me a complete list of what is needed?

You don't need anything beside an OBD1 LS ECU.
Everything just plugs right in. You will need to use the engine wiring harness that comes with the B18B engine.
It will be OBDI with OBDII components (ie, fuel injectors, distributor, alternator ...)

Uhhhhh. With a crane?

Really, its totally plug and play. Just use an OBD1 computer and you are good to go.
