I don't know how I read though all that but I did. Next time structure it so it is a lot easier to read. All of your answers can be found if you spent like 5-10 min poking around here or google.

YES it is easier doing the 5sp swap when your doing any swap. This way you don't have to source a KA 5sp tranny, clutch, ecu etc. Why waste $ on all the 5sp KA shit when your going to do a SR20 swap anyhow?

IF your doing a SR swap, you will need the cluster out of a S13 DOHC (91-93), a clutch pedal out of any year S13 (along with a clutch slave and the line), 5sp drive shaft, power steering res from a DOHC s13 or a s14 will work and probably a few more tid bits I'm forgetting. All that info can be found online if you search its there and been covered TONS of time. The hardest part of the swap is taking the time to punch/cut out the hole for the clutch pedal. Everything else is cake plug and play.

I'm not going to answer the questions if the SR20 is good or bad. You should be able to find out if it is the right choice for you. A lot of people rock it, its not perfect but it gets the job done. Every motor is going to have its pos and neg. Just depends on how much $ you want to throw at it. There are ALOT of engine choices for the S-chassis, just depends again, what do you want out of it (ie hp, tq,) and how much $$$ you want to throw at it to get it there.

Literally tho you can pretty much put just about any rwd motor in the s-chassis. Anything popular has already probably been done. Google is your friend, learn how to use it or like most you will end up frustrated and crying when no one wants to help you.
