Yes rewiring.

Mounts and tranny depend on what trim you have, and you didn't give that information out.

you need a 3sgte engine harness and extend it, ecu and it needs to be midly rewired a. You will need, from my experience an e153 tranny (V6 camry or MR2) to handle the power. You will then need either all trac half shafts or v6 camry half shafts for your axels. You will need motor mounts and you will need a Front mount IC with custom piping unless you get an alltrac hood. I just sold mine and didnt get the value back, think about your investment before you make it...cars are depreciable assets and modded cars are even worse.

S54 tranny can handle a good amount of power.

Upgraded clutch is a definite. Alot of people are using the S54/S53 transmissions with 3S swaps for quite a while with out problems.
