There seemed to be some interest from a couple other threads about this, and I intended to do a full writeup once everything was fully running and tuned. However, I realized this is going to take some time to document properly, so I guess I'll get started and add to this as I find time.
First, I started fully rebuilt and internally balanced a 2F block. Also started with a 3FE (from FJ80) head and EFI bits. I won't document the "2FE" portion of the build, since there are plenty of threads already in existence. I'll start from the fully assembled 2FE point and document the ECU build and associated changes necessary to the motor as well as the wiring.
I used the dizzy from the FJ80 and replaced the cap and rotor.
First and foremost, go here and READ, READ, and READ again before anything! Familarize yourself with what you are about to get into.

Water temp sensor from diyautotune:

Item# GM Closed Element CLT / IAT Sensor with Connector$16.25 USD1$16.25 USD
Go ahead and order 2 of these, as I should have in the beginning - 1 for the AIT and 1 for CLT
wideband O2 sensor from Amazon:
"Innovate Motorsports 3796 DB RED Complete Wideband Gauge Kit (2 1/16 52mm) with LC-1, O2 Sensor, Bung and Plug"
Automotive; $164.20
fuel pump:
There are a ton of choices out there, but I chose a Bosch unit that I can order from amazon or a parts house in the future, and it's pretty cheap. It uses hose barbs on both ends, which gave me a lot of flexibility. You might want to go with higher grade -an hoses, and an "aftermarket" pump such as Aeromotive / Edelbrock / Holley:
Bosch 69418 Original Equipment Replacement Electric Fuel Pump
Sold by Amazon.com LLC
$73.38
Fuel Filter:
Again, I went with a hose barb style EFI filter from Summit. This is for the pressurized side. I used a generic inline pre filter before the pump, that I got for like $10 at Autozone:

These provide a nice clean terminal for the MS Fuel Injector wires.

SOFTWARE:
http://www.tunerstudio.com/index.php/tuner-studio
This is the Tuning software that allows you to communicate with the MegaSquirt, and build your tune. It is very well supported and they are always adding features and fixing any bugs. It's about $60 for the full-blown version, although there is a freeware you can play with to get started. I'll add a section with screenshots from my tuning to give you an idea of how to setup the 2FE.
That's about it for the initial post, as I mentioned, I'll add pics and WAY more info as time allows.

Things that go away from the stock setup:
- All EGR / vacuum VSV controls
- Cold start injector
- All wiring (saved some of the connectors for pigtails)
- Cold start plumbing
- MAF (all of it)
- More stuff I'll add as I think about this
