I had to chuckle when I re-read this list... HALF of the items listed I did not need or use for mine. My list IS very different. There is (for some) more than one way to do this!
For me, it was the quickest, simplest, strongest, most reliable, and least expensive best bang for the buck. I was also fortunate in what I am allowed and able to do.
Having an engine ready... is a big deal! Having all the parts already is a big deal too.
You can literally do a V8 swap in a weekend or two (with everything ready), or take 3+ years. You can spend a lot of money, or very little (aside from the engine itself). It can be complex, or simple. There are harder ways to do it.. there are easier ways to do it. Of course a lot of it depends on you.. your circumstances, your objective, your goals.
State laws vary, and may decide how and what you can do as well.
