swap engine

I’ve got a good running 2.3 speed motor. I know that it’s the Duratec motor. the question that I’ve got is what would I need to do to swap it?(mostly in the weeds stuff) I know I’ll need mounts, new rear end, new trans(it’s already a manual). I’ve got motor, ecu, ignition with key, and cluster.
