Re: all the small parts needed for a new swap! (CTL)
Depends on mileage really. The usual cap/rotor/plugs/wires/air filter/oil filter and such is a good starting point. If you've got substantially more mileage, perhaps look into a timing belt/tensioner/water pump/thermostat/hoses.
With the motor out of the car, its a lot easier to work on. So if you're coming close to a certain mileage that typically needs 'x' maintenance on it, just go ahead and do it now.

...unless you get an engine with like 20-50K miles on it.
Hell Honda says replace them every 90K. If you get any swap with an actual known mileage under 60K I'd say don't worry about it unless you have the extra loot, which many people don't at the time of the swap.
I got all of my swaps with under 40K on them. The B16A that went into my fiancee's hatch only had 24K on it.

I would feel alot better if I had it changed. More than half the time you can't prove how many miles your swap has on it and in my opinion its worth the extra insurance. I will admit its definately not 'needed' but hey it helps to know exactly how long the belt has been on the car, and its alot easier to change with the motor out of the car.
