checklist for svx revamp... whats needed?

[intellibomb]

hey all,

first off:
i love my svx. i have to, or else i would go crazy dealing with these things

now,
my beast of ~200k just threw a rod or something similarly vicious, because my engine knocks and its just barely even movable now. i was 300 miles from home and it was 5am it sucked. so i u-hauled the ***** home and i am now picking up the pieces ....

so, when faced with the options:
1. trash/part her out
2. get a new one and leave her in the boneyard and eventually rape her of parts
3. fix her

i decided that option 3 is probably the best option, since i am this deep into svxophilia that i might as well hang on forever.

so here goes
i am going to fix her, but i am ammassing the parts first.
i need

- engine
......-ebay etc ...or a rebuild?
......- what to look for, what to replace before installation etc
......-performance cams?
- engine mounts
.......- stock or group-n modified?
- front swaybar bushings
.......-stock or urethane?
- clutch for the 2002 wrx tranny
.......-stock or performance?

my question is, are there any other things i should do while im in there?
what would you guys reccommmend? any tricks or ideas? or should i just say f-it and save to buy a whole nother svx and use this one for parts? tough choices... thanks for any input from fellow svxers.. im sure im not the only one who has had this predicament or similar...

thanks
