generally speaking with an engine swap you're going to need the new engine. If you're going electronic fuel injection you are going to need either a stand-alone computer or the stock computer for that engin. You will need the bellhousing for the T5 which if you have one already that would be best to reuse the transmission if in good condition. if you have any skills fabricating I recommend making your own engine mounts if not amazon likely has a conversion kit or American muscle. You also need a ton of patience because it's not easy. You will likely need to cut and weld new panels in the engine bay. Custom exhaust is a must at that point. I would recommend having a nice assortment of tools too.
