1. Yes
2. Add clutch pedal, hydraulics & slave / master cylinder. Change gear box, change flywheel, fit spigot bearing into end of crankshaft, modify gearbox inhibitor switch wiring, add reversing light wiring
3. I have some parts for sale!! Time taken will come down to experience, and what tools etc you've got. I'd guess someone who roughly knows what they are doing will have it done in a day.
I've got the pedal box, slave cylinder, master cylinder, hydraulic hoses / pipe. Don't have the gearbox or flywheel, can sell my bits for £25 + post if you like
