Are you doing the swap yourself? If so, I'd suggest contacting Gerry and the guys at Screaming Lizard Customs. They hooked up Ben with all his parts I believe. If you haven't already check out his build:

If you're looking to do it with new parts, I still say SLC. If you're looking for a used drivetrain then I'd try Car-Part.Com and finding a low mileage one there.

Any of the shops that are doing the swaps I am sure would be more than willing to set you up with everything you need. I personally would go with AEV since they are supplying the DIY kit, where most other shops are using hybrids with many parts from AEV, but some are using the Squire wiring harness, or an MBRP exhaust, etc....
