Sell your vf38
Either reuse or sell your pw TMIC (If front mount then definitely reuse it)
Twin scroll dump pipe bell mouth on eBay (kinugawa / kando)
Stock preface ecu will run this motor you only need to reuse your old cam position sensors which are minor mods
Either reuse your black plastic intake manifold or better option is the ej207 inlet manifold with liberty throttle body
Stock v10 with vf53 on 98 wth retune will do 250kw atw depending on tuner. On e85 will make 270or so atw but a shitload more torque in mid range.
Stock liberty heads on v7 long block and vf38 will make 180awkw max
Vf53 twin scroll turbo and v10 twin scroll headers on the liberty heads and v7 block will make 220 odd awkw
