Default Going Beta

So for a very long time I was debating about whether or not I want to do a beta swap or not and I decided that if something miraculous happened and I somehow got the money or the parts I would do it...

Well, this weekend a junkyard by me is having a huge sale on engines and trannys. So i'm going to go and see what they have and what condition it is in.

While I'm there I want to check prices on other things so I'm wondering if I could get a list form someone who has done a Beta swap of what I need. So far I've got engine, tranny, clutch, ecm?....and i read something about getting 2 different axles to fit in the tranny better....

Basically just bolt in motor, tranny, rewire and your good to go or am i missing the bigger pic??

i'm going to buy the stuff this weekend and let it collect dust in the garage until summer starts. But i think if i work on it pretty much every day i can get it done in about 3 weeks? i'll be having friend's help me out too so it should go a bit faster.
