Considering that an engine transplant could easily cost you $5000 or $6000 (if you do a lot of the labour yourself) consider if you would be better off selling your car and buy a GT ( Or a Foz!)
Because stopping never optional.

put in a half cut mate , you wont look back, cut your losses on the box you have and get a halfcut, if you try and buy an engine and harness you'll miss lots of small bits needed to complete the conversion and end spending more in the long run. if you need any more specific advise converting gen 3's im more than happy to help, ive done a fair few now, thanks, Ben.
