Engine swap part question

I''m swapping my blown 13b with the shortblock I bought a month ago; next week.
I'm trying to go ahead and buy the gaskets and other parts that I will need when I'm reassemabling the shortblock with the parts off of my blown 13b.
I know the gaskets I have to buy but other than that I'm clueless.
The guys I've got helping me do it have swapped engines before but only on piston engines.
I don't really know what goes into swapping the Oil metering lines and the OMP itself.
I was actually considering going ahead and premixing that way I don't have to mess with putting them back on, lulz.

as long as its a series to series swap IE. s4 to s4, or s5 to s5.
It should be easy if your friends do engine swaps.

As for the OMP, you should take this time to replace the OMP lines. They can become brittle and crack. Might as well replace them with new lines so you wont be dripping oil on top the engine.

You have an S5. Premix isn't so easy.

My lines are good so it should be no problem.
I'm tight on money for now, because I'm waiting for my mine training to start up.
