Look, don't get discouraged. It really isn't that difficult of a swap. I think you've got something different pictured in your head. Think of it this way: A Camaro has a 350 stock motor and you want to jerk that one out and put in a BUILT 350 motor. Do you think you'll need all new wiring? New ecu? All the changes were internal so the electronic part stays the same.

Same here, except for a few minor additions. You will have to get bigger injectors. You will need a fuel controller of some type, which the NEO is a great choice BTW. You will not need a bigger pump, but it is a very good investment. You SHOULD beef up the tranny in order to ensure longevity. An LSD would also be a cool investment because at 400HP peg-legging is not . You should let a competent shop do the install so it doesn't end up consting you MORE when you take it to a shop to FIX things that a shade tree mech screwed up.

The only things I changed in my car are the things I've suggested above, and I've daily driven 30K+ miles so far. I don't baby my car at all either. I drive it everyday and run it at the track when necessary. So it can certainly be done, as long as you do it smart. If you use crappy parts and shoddy craftsmanship or push it beyond where it's designed to go, then you will spend more time "down" than you will driving.
