2.8l engine replacement

Swapping out my old 2.8 (155k mi) for a brand spankin new 2.8 this weekend. Anything else I should change besides the obvious (filters, alternator, fluids, belt, fuel pump, mounts)? I don't wanna forget anything.

Thanks in advance.

it wouldn't hurt to get a new clutch disc if you have a manual

I missed a few things on my engine removal...hopefully it wont bite me in the end.

I wouldn't go to overboard if you are just wanting to swap a stock for stock. I would make sure to examine every sensor and vac tubes and replace any that might be suspect.
Maybe the water pump, oil pump, and fuel filter...but the fuel pump and engine mounts are whole different monsters.

Motor mounts I would replace, if they're original. They're a pain in the butt to do, but worth it.
