damn man, People say that 240 guys are cheap, but that takes the cake. Sure it's feasible, if the planets align and you find the right parts at the right time...
Recipe for disaster:
$400 car.
$1600 gnarly eBay clip.
$400 delivery.
$100 heater hoses, fluids, misc.
$0 weekend inflicting bodily injury trying to swap.
Grand total: $2500 for a car that's not registered or insured, more than likely has rod knock, stock clutch, stock DP, SMIC, steelies with bald tires, no compression on #3, stock catback, and all of the other fine points of a 15 year old car. This also assumes that you already have a hoist, know how to wire the harness, a working battery, and the $400 beauty is already a 5sp without major problems.
