Preparing for a swap

The black MR2 Turbo came with a following mods: 
Blitz Access ECU;
Ohlins adjustable schocks;
Braided brake lines (unfortunately one is standard);
Uprated intercooler;
Lenso RS5 17x7 wheels with a good tires;
Apiro air filter (probably peace of sh... and will be replace with my current Green);

And the bad things also:
Alternator was not working, but not it's repaired;
Head gasket is blow or head is broken, this is the biggest problem;

Repairing of alternator:
Celica 7gen on left and MR2 on right
AEM pulley from Celica alternator
 Is done and working now. I changed diode pack.
Of course, I will not leave it a stock, so before I change an engine, I need some things :)
Now I have:
Blitz turbo timer

Blitz boost gauge
De-cat downpipe (no name)
Main things to buy left:
Metal head gasket;
Timing belt (BluePrint bought);
Spark plugs (ordered already Denso Iridium IK22);
Manual boost controller(not electronic because of lack of money);
Prothane suspension bushing kit;

Come back later for next parts of a project :)
