The motor mounts, headers, etc should all line up. It's possible that you might have to change your ECU. This will depend on which parts you're swapping out and which your're keeping and also the year of car the donor engine is coming from.

Any transmission meant for an H series should work fine, provided it is compatible with your ECU. Why can't you keep the transmission you have?
