Engine Swap a Zetec 2.0 for a Zetec 2.3 or 2.0 Turbo

The supercharging seemed to be the wrong way to go with an engine that was 18 years old so I am looking at this for a swap.

Mine will be a used motor with 15K on it (Drop in with the engine wiring harness)

I have been told the donor car is complete but via a 3rd party reseller so if I need any other parts I should be able to get them from the seller 

My issue is as this will be my first attempt at a swap what other accessories will I need beside the "control pack" and a "return style fuel system" (what ever that is)

Any pointers on what issues I may run into should I go for a 2.0 turbo instead?

Also available used with low mileage.

The guy is asking $2500 for the 2.0 and $2700 for the 2.3

Did not want to go for an aftermarket turbo I would rather have a "Plug and Play set up (hopefully less headaches)

The gear box was a concern I will see what gear box is attached to the donor 2.0 and try to find if it will fit the tunnel if not............. back here to look for suggestions or scrap this idea and start over 

I am not looking to build an insanely fast  track car, this is a daily driver with weekend track fun so the 2.0 seems more than enough and I save a few bucks. 

I have been trying to educate myself on the complexities of this undertaking and don't want to get started only to find I am hopelessly lost, that is another reason I would prefer a drop in motor.

Installing the engine I am confident I can do it is just the electronics (what do I need) that is my concern.

ECU mapping??

Return style fuel system???

And the wiring*confused*

I will wait to see if I get any more responses on L7C and if the general consensus is this ain't that difficult and this is a wise choice will pull the trigger on the engine on Friday
