Oil, transmission, brake, and power steering fluid and appropriate filters in an ideal case. Maybe brake rotors a...

I am waiting for two other estimates on the engine swap. I am hoping it can be done as a unit since my engine and transmission have only 95,000 original miles - but it's sounding like $1500 - $2000 for the swap.
