Getting ready for an engine swap.

Hi, Im putting a used 12a into my RX7 and I just wanted to make sure im getting everything i need when i place my order at Autozone.

-Gasket for Motor to Tranny
-Gasket for Oil pan and sealer
-Gasket for thermal reactor
-Gasket for intake manifold
-New water pump and hoses
-New Belts

Is there anything i should get? I need to make sure I got everything in advance cuz im gonna rent an engine hoist.

Thanks
John

If you manage to find a gasket to mate the engine to the tranny, please post. Never seen one of those, lol.

I don't know how much luck you have ordering gaskets from Autozone, suggest BlackDragon.com instead. They have the cheapest exhaust gasket.

I find it easier to mate the engine and tranny out of the car, then install them together. Removing the radiator works best when going this route.
