Thanks!

The harness from your motor will work with a 3.2 motor just swap it.
The vacuum system tubing can be moved to the donor engine as well.
Any similar year 3.2 motor will swap into a 2.7 car.
I have a 3.2 block from a tip running in a 2.7 manual chassis. You can pick up front S brake calipers on Ebay for cheap and replace the rotor for about the same price as new non-S rotors and brakes. Rear brake let alone same pads S or non-S.
Good luck have fun.
