As many threads about the swap as you can stand to read. The more you know before you go into it the smoother it's going to go for you, for sure.

This swap shouldn't be about how easy and fast you can get a parts list. Take your time and absorb as much information about it as you can. Searching is not only going to find you plenty of lists of parts that you need, but you'll also find out snags that other people ran into and what they did to get around it. Why repeat other people's mistakes when you can learn from them?

I would recommend you start here:

...but I'm biased

Honestly, I've gotten a ton of info from CL and supraforums. Let me know if you have questions.
