FD Build Suggestions/Advice

Greetings! Looking for input and advice from members who have been through the process of LS swapping an FD rx7. I have done quite a bit of research but I would like some input from owners who have actually been through the process to hopefully benefit from their trials and tribulations. My FD is currently in for paint & minor bodywork and I am compiling parts for the upcoming LS swap. Below is where I am for the build so far but I am sure I am missing some required parts to make this happen. I plan to turbo the car eventually once my checking account recovers so I will drive it NA for a while. Mostly looking for specific parts to make this all come together. For example I know the t56 mag will need an extension to the shifter to get it into the stock FD shifter position, what gears are you all running in your 8.8, radiator setups, fuel systems etc. Forgive my ignorance but I have never built a car from basically scratch before and want to avoid costly mistakes if I can. Still need a clutch and associated parts. Would genuinely appreciate some input from other members, thank you in advance!

-Built LS3 crate engine (I believe I need an F body oil pan?)
-Tremec T56 magnum (shifter extension?)
-8.8 ford rear end (what gears y'all running?)
-Holley terminator x (would the Dominator be better in the long run?)
-Ronin LS & 8.8 ford IRS swap kits
-Tein coilovers
