i was wondering and i'm still learning much about cars, but my sis has a 240sx 95 model, and if i purchase a JDM silvia s14 that is manual, could i be able to drop the engine in and change the transmission to manual?

It's possible, at least I know that for my teg lots of people have swapped to manuals. different things are gonna be ecu, pedals, possibley mount positions etc

yea this engine i'm looking at (from a warehouse that imports JDM engine from japan, sells engines with complete sets) i been really thinking about doing that, i already have some money set for a project car, just need to know if its all possible....or i get a mirage and drop this 4G63T EVO VI engine in that they r selling for 4k USD....and do a evo V body conversion...
