Lots of stuff,
water pump (old one was fine)
RMS
LN IMS bearing (old one was fine, but the IMS tube was full of oil)
Flywheel (old one was shot)
pilot bearing
clutch set
AOS
Belt
Oil fill tube
Coolant tank and cap
Porsche antifreeze ($28 a gallon, ouch)
Lots of new bolts and nuts and gaskets.
engine mount (old one still intact after 89000 miles)
Royal purple tranny fluid (dealer wanted $39 a quart for Porsche gear lube!)

Have you used Royal Purple befiore? I am using it now and have found that it is a little stiff when it's cold but after it warms-up it is very smooth. In colder climate you might find it too stiff??

Drove a little over 100 miles on twisty back roads today, had to top off the coolant. No drips.
Tranny is shifting fine so far, but it's 95 degrees today.

Just got back from a 1,200 mile round trip to the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. Car survived monsoon rains on Friday in Ohio and 95 degrees temps all weekend.
Oil and coolant levels unchanged averaged about 28 MPG.

Did you see any scraping on the water pump blades?
