Some general swap/modification advice:

Get everything you need first *before* beginning the swap. Obviously you can't account for everything possible as there will no doubt be minor setbacks and whatnot, but try to reduce the downtime as much as possible. That being said, don't rush. Anything worth doing is worth doing right the first time, especially if you ever want to hope to re-sell this car to anyone in the future! Nobody, especially not you, wants a hackjob swapped car. Even a properly swapped LS1 BRZ will most certainly be worth less than one with the original engine, so I hope you've come to terms with that. Use the right tools for the job. If you don't have them, get them before attempting to finagle something and end up breaking the tool, the car, or yourself. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Make sure you're getting the right answers, too.

Best of luck, sir!
