Longhorn, I suggest you heed Cosmo's good advice. I know that I would do so. I'm going to add a bit of my own advice, too. Unless you have a big garage and plenty of floor space, take small bites. That is, do the engine first, then the transmission. As you read here and possibly other places, you may get more ideas. Transmissions can be a fairly easy swap anyway. Take your time! Think! If you get done to fast, you'll just have to get another one!
Best wishes,
Les
