Default Is there a check list for the big block swap?

Alright I got my workhorse running last week and want to swap the engine this week!! There is a 23 hp vanguard that looks like a sweet deal for 1200 plus shipping and the engine cradle from carts plus looks like the way to go. What else will I need to do or get to make this swap happen. Will the stock rear end still work on this? Its a 4 stroke rear end so the reverse should be no issue? My fab tools/skills are limited. I just dont want to get in over my head again and kill my wallet on this project. What should a country boy do?

When it is all said and done the complete BB kit from CPP is a better deal for most people, especially if you need help engineering the throttle and exhaust etc,etc,etc!

Check it out

Is the engine the correct rotation?
