fuel pump, ecm, lt1, wiring harness, a wiring guide, some patience and alot of time. probably an adapter for the trans im not sure. also change the optispark while on the engine before you swap it in if the engine has alot of miles on it.

You can swap in what ever your heart desires. I have faith in you!

You will need the engine, computer, harness. The 95 computer if is automatic will be for a 4L60E and that is fully computer controled. So you either install a 4L60E with your swap or a manuals computer. Plus fuel pump. That should take care of the basic needs. There will always be those incidentals like fuel lines and hoses and such.

You also might want to check your area smog laws if any.

Besides the complete engine and acessories, you will need the computer, wiring harness, and fuel system. If you plan to modify the engine, I suggest you get a 96/97 (OBDII)engine and computer as they are easier to tune, and have improved components. Otherwise, if you plan to remain stock, use a 93 model, wiring is a little simpler and a plain old 700R4 (4L60 not the 4L60e) transmission worksfine with it.

i know for a fact that the 95 computer is probably the worst one to use. my brother has a 95 Formula and its OBD1.5 or something. You need a special scanner to read it. Its an OBDII port but you cant read it with the OBDII scanner
