Thanks for the listing, it is appreciated. That's probably what I'll end up doing, since I think if I piecemeal that whole list together without the VCG parts, it'll end up being more than the whole kit that includes them.

I thought about going the JDM engine / used engine swap route, but decided against it for a few reasons. My feeling is that since Japan is small and densely populated, those motors mainly see lots of stop-and-go, around-town usage when in service. They were removed from the cars and have been sitting since who knows how long ago. Even if you get a good one - the gaskets / seals are the same age as ours regardless of mileage, so I'd probably be on borrowed time anyway. Might as well do the gaskets on mine, so I know it should last a good long while after that (as long as I don't mess it up, that is).
