what you putting it in? but you will need:-
- a full socket set i would say all the way up to 22mm (to be safe)
- a set of open and ring spanners all the way up to 22mm aswell
- phillips and flat head screw drivers in as many sizes as possible
- wire stripper and soldering iron and electrical tape/heat shrink plastic tubing
- multimeter to check connections and all
- engine crane
- some solid metal poles to help in manouvering (NOT FOR BACHING EACH OTHER WHEN YOU GET THE SHITS  )
that should cover, anything else guys?

Get yourself a GOOD set of sockets, get yourself a good set of spanners, both crescent and ring if you want to make it easy on yourself. A set of screwdrivers would be handy.

please see the WST link in my sig for all the other tools you will need
Other than that...
trolley jack
chassis stands
breaker bars
pry bars (very handy)
24mm socket (gearbox drain and fill plugs)
30mm deep impact socket (hub nuts)
you'll find what you need as you go along too.
