Magnus motorsports sell a kit, you can get an idea of all the parts that are needed from that. It is no small task, but worth it in the long run.

what is is the website on magnus motorsports if you know anything else please let me know thank you.

so i can keep all the stuff that is on the side of the first gen block cause i got it today all cmplete with everything but i havent bought the magnus motorsport kit will it still hook up with out any mounts.

"with out any mounts" what mounts? And your gonna have modify the 1g block to fit the 2g head, it won't bolt on directly. i think bore out the holes and add one.

To make a 2g head fit over the thicker 1g head bolts you have to drill the holes in the head bigger. No other mod should be needed and it will work fine. The only other thing you will have to is run a 1g CAS instead of the 2g 2 sensor setup. As for mounts all you need is to cut the 2g mount to fit around the 1g water pump. It is pretty easy let me know if you need more info.

I know one guy that did the swap in well under a month, I know another guy it took him over a year. It just depends how often you can work on the car and if you have all the parts and tools needed to do everything.
