If you have the cash, order the wing, fuselage QB and the finish kits
together and save some shipping cost.
Engine must be on to fit the cowl. If you do not have access to a prop hub
identical to the prop you will use, you need to buy the prop as well. The
prop and spinner must be on the engine to do the cowl.
Get everything done before you buy Avionics. Products like Garmin will have
warrantees expire before you ever get the plane in the air. What you can do
however is decide on about what avionics you will use so that you can buy
things like autopilot servos and mounts and get them installed.
There is a lot of work to do once you get the fuselage ready for the canopy
top, doors and glass (as in a year for me). Do these before engine mount.

This engine will create a weight and balance problem for you. It has
angle valve cylinders which weigh approx 8 lbs more percylinder than the
parallel valve engines, or almost 50 lbs extra on the front of the
plane. 290 hp well exceeds Vans maximum hp for the airframe. It is a
high compression engine meaning nothing less than 100LL is sufficient.
Get the descriptions of all Lyc parallel valve engines so that you know
which ones are acceptable and won't need a lot of changes to fit.
I can send you a spreadsheet with that info,
