Default getting an engine swap 92 MX3 gs

I'm sure these questions are asked 100 times a day but if someone can help it's very greatly appreciated.

1. I plan on leaving the stock transmission post-swap, it seems fine. Will a stronger clutch suffice?

2. If I order a KL-ZE from an importer, will I get everything I need and can just get the engine sent to my mechanic and he can do the swap it in no strings attached or extra parts needed? I always hear things about an ECU, which I am more or less clueless on. The engine I'm planning on buying if you look in the included parts section I see sensors. Would that include the ECU? I have a link to the engine I'm probably going to buy. If your interested in giving me some good advice by checking it out here's the link.

if you go get a wire splice kit fro your local auto part store you should be able to figure it out just cut and add a pice of wire to both thelines and crimps on ether end look up wire splice on google for some pix good luck oh and you need a 2 foot pice of vacume line like 5/16 autoparts store has that too
