hmm, so you have a auto already, and are looking at buyin a 5speed chassis for the swap correct? my advice, buy a 5speed shell keep the automatic as a "beater", you may not want or need two cars, but i highly recomend keeping a non swaped car! things will break with a turbo car its best to have a back up, trust me on this i know from first hand experiance, unfortunately my beater broke down the same week my car was down for the turbo upgrades! but i have a 5speed coupe beater car comming from columbus actually this week ! so ill once again be able to drive my beater everyday and for work and stuff saving the Ca car for fun and days off ! im also thinking about making it total race preped and go all out and have it the shops demo car .
but for real look into just buyin a shell for the CA motor i bet you can find a good deal out there even if the car needs some minor work its better to have that back up car !!
