1990 240 motor swap to sr20det and auto to manual

[DriftDream1]

Hey i might get a lot of crap for this post I'm not sure but here it goes. New to this site, new to drifting, new to drift cars period. I have always been into to cars but mostly just did cosmetics stuff to them for some reason and never to much performance or anything but id like to change that. i have done motor and tranny work before and have somewhat of a mechanical background. All that is besides the point though. heres what I'm thinking of doing. Around where i live there are not to many 240's for sale except automatics with way to many miles on them and its nothing but rust and over priced. Although i recently found a 1990 240sx for very cheap. dang near perfect body inside and out, motor condition unknown besides 132,xxx on it, and its automatic. i have read you can do a 5 speed conversion on these which is why I'm not scared of it being automatic and it costs possibly around 700 to do yourself which is ok with me. I have also found out that sr20det motors are pretty easy to swap as well. i found a website that sells motor and 5 speed tranny together for about 2,400. would it honestly be worth my time and effort to do the motor swap and tranny conversion at the same time? has anyone else done this before and could possibly give me any advice? any good/bad about the sr20 or if its even worth it? i would just like to find out anything and everything i can about the project I'm wanting to do. i don't mind putting in a lot of time into this what so ever. just would like any info or advice on any of this ... please and thanks for your time
