I have that info on my computer at work, I'll contact you tomorrow via PMs. As for wiring & such, the 3L is close to bolt on if you don't change any components. Your stock intake, exhaust, & everything else should fit just fine, or you may be able to use the 3L intake manifold.

There will be only a few minor mods needed if you pick the right engine. One of the senders will need the hole drilled & tapped for a larger sender from your car & there is one mounting tab on the 3L that is not used in our car that will need to be ground out of the way. Otherwise, straightforward swap. You definately need to educate yourself a little more before you tackle this swap, mistakes can be made so protect yourself with knowledge. One person recently jumped in a little early & bought the WRONG 3L engine. A little research & a few questions could have saved a lot of time & $.

Best thing you can do for yourself is to visit http://www.buckshotmotorsports.com/3literhome.htm for the 3L FAQ section, and check out the 3L forum on this site. READ, READ, READ! Lots of good info. When you're done you'll have a very good idea of what you'll need.

Additionally, my car will be heading for the bone yard in the next few days. I'll try to find out where it's going & see if you could get a deal on the engine. It had 80,000 miles but is still running GREAT. I dunno if it would be worth it just based on mileage, but the car was well taken care of since 40k at least.

Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
