You need the whole doner car. We would need to know what year the 3.8 is and what years the doner car is.
If you mean you want a seprate list of every part, good luck the list would be hunderds of part numbers long. There is a list of systems that need replaces. But it just list like "ABS system" not all the parts that make up the ABS system.
In terms of money and work the swap makes no sense. You will spend 1000's in parts, a good doner car will cost more then car that needs a motor repair, Motor repairs are easier and cheaper then the swaps. If you do the swap you will end up with one car and a bunch of parts and one LS1 car that is no where near worth kelly blue book. If you repair a broken Ls1 car it will cost less money it will be less work and at the end you will have a LS1 car that is worth Kelly blue book and a V6 car.
