I need your opinion

Ok.... this what i plan on doing this summer i plan on buying all the parts for a t2 swap since i cant find one i plan on turboing my gxl. And make it a t2. I have no other choice. I plan on getting the drive shaft from mazdatrix.com and buying the wireharness from one of you guys and ecu or anyother places i can get it with no problem. Then i paln on getting the rear end from a t2 let me know what parts i can reuse or cannot use. Then i plan on buying the engine from flashoptions.com they have jspec with i believe a warrenty. Or should i get it from somewhere else. I plan on a mechanic doing this for me and i also plan on helping him if he lets me. OR a couple of buddies of mine will put it in. I was wondering how hard it is to swap. It seems pretty straight forward. I just would like you opinion on this i know it may have been discussed a lot but i am very serious on it. I plan on buying everything in parts starting in a little while next couple weeks start with driveshaft and ecu and wireharness then work my self up to rearend and engine and tranny then i will take it to my mechanic and have him and i do it. I just wanted your peoples opinions on it on what i should do, what i should buy where i should buy it and how hard it is and anything that might be unexpected and i what i might have to buy. that i already didnt have up there. This is for the all the rotary experts who have done this and i hope you can help me out

Well, your biggest task is removing the rear end. Everything else from there is just beer and knuckes busting. The next challenge is getting vac lines and wiring installed also finding all the grounds.
