Others that have gone down this rabbit hole have gone with what Ken suggested. Get a donor car. Best and cheapest way to do it as there are a lot of parts. Not as easy as just swapping them out. If you find a good enough donor, and have the space to store it on your property (or someone else's that you know), then you'll have that for spare parts if something else comes up in the future.
Not sure if you'll be doing the work yourself or paying for a mechanic. The combo of paying for parts AND labour would make it almost worth while to just trade the auto version for a manual one.

Simple recipe for Excitement: Take 1 Classic Mini. Throw in 1590cc's of engine. Add 5 gears. A dash of 94 octane. A sprinkle of style inside and out. Toss in 1 MadMan and finally heat tires and pavement to taste. Recipe produces 1 Mini VTEC conversion and full satisfaction. Motor on!

We don't have a parts list and yes you will need re-programming.
About the only cost-effective way to do this would be to have a donor car because the parts list will be extensive.
