I've finally decided to install a m52 Lump into my E30 cabby

Id really appreciate it if you guys could help me out with the following:-
1) a List of all the bits and bobs I'd need for the conversion?
2) can I stick to a auto box, if so which one?
3) what options do I have for brake up grades, just as my brakes are poo!!
Any links and advice very much appreciated, I've definatley come across these conversion threads before, but just can't find any helpful ones.
Cheers Fellas
