I had long been thinking about wether or not to do a 3sgte swap, but when my motor suddenly died sooner than I expected and I found a 5sfe for cheap, I'm just putting a stock 5sfe back in the car.
So my question is what should I do before I put the new motor in?

I've thought of some of the obvious to do while the engine is out like new timing belt and water pump. Also I thought about using the alternator and ac from my car because I know they are already working to par. Pretty much everything is good on my last motor except the internals, so what should I keep, toss, or swap to the 5sfe before I put it in?

Thanks.
