4af to 4age swap

I've been thinking about swapping out my 4af motor in my sr5 for the 4age out of a gts, say i have access to a complete car, what exactly do i need, and how hard is it to do?
I thought about just selling mine for a gts, but my body and under carriage is so clean compared to everything i can find, but i know where theres a running parts car with a complete motor/drivetrain with only 115K's on it.
so yeah, im just gathering info on how it would be done.

Strip everything out of the donor car, clean it paint it fix anything that is broken. (including gauge cluster, fuel pump, sway bars .. I mean EVERYTHING.

Strip everything out of your car.

Put everything from the donor car into your car.


Done
See wasnt' that easy?

I'd also say while your at it replace the motor mounts, vacume lines, fuel lines... Anything that could be worn from being old. You'll thank yourself later on if you do them now while the engine is out. Maybe wash the engine down and paint it too.

Also remember to swap the fuel tank

And for the breaks remember the portioning block on the firewall if you put the disc on the rears.
