Import a 3sge rear clip and you should have everything you need. Here's a short list:
Engine
Transmission ?
Axles & Hubs ?
Shifter Cables ?
ECU
Wiring Harness
Time
$$$$$

Talk to MR2Warehouse. They will install it for you if you want. But they get more clips than anyone.

They currently have ONE 3SGE engine that someone bought and never picked up. So you might want to get in touch with them now, otherwise you can wait for another to be shipped. Im guessing youll be looking in the $2500 area for the clip

alright thanks guys.

as for the build, anyone have any suggestions for parts? i want as much n/a power possible.

Just wondering if your doing a swap...why not go turbo if you want power

i like the sound of high revs and response of na. i know i could have good response with small turbos but turbos are really expensive.

well im just saying if your gonna swap a motor you could just as easily and for almost the same price have a Gen 2 3sgte instead. But i mean i guess its just what your in to
