Default 91 crx b18c1 swap help

Before anyone says google I've tried that and the results I've come across aren't consistent or informative.

I have the block and transmission and obviously need the head, intake manifold(as well as internals)and wiring harness, but what else is needed for the swap?

I'm told I will need a rear mount for the transmission, motor mount kit, and axles...anything else?

Anyone who doesn't mind helping a typically v8 noob out with this I would greatly appreciate a mentor. When I get the axles that are for that engine/tranny are they going to be a direct fit to my hub? What about the length? If I deck the block can I machine and the head too? If we stroke it out and switch the valves do we need dished pistons? It's a new world for us v8 people and need to know specifics. We are looking to get the most power possible out of what will be a naturally aspirated engine.

Thank you anyone that is willing to invest the time. I'm super excited about this build. Just need some direction.

Thanks prodigy. I did a site search for the topic, but there are so many irrelevant threads that pop up that it quickly becomes discouraging. Thanks again. I will definitely give it a thorough read. It's amazing how different it is working with a basic v8 vs these engines/setups.

So I think I'm on the right track. I have the b18c block with harness being bored to 84 and using ls crank and rods. For n/a motor, I need to go with domed pistons correct?

And for the added lift how much needs to be done to the lifters, springs, etc and best cam for this combination? Oh...the head is a b16a.
