I see you are in CA, so make sure you've got the same year or later engine with all the smog equipment that came with the donor car at least until you get the swap inspected and retitled. (If it's '75 or earlier you can do whatever you want.)

Let me know if you've got any questions. I love the swap and have put almost 3000 miles on it. It's now my primary driver. I hope to do a proper mpg test shortly, but thus far I'm estimating between 27 and 30.
