i agree.
it'll cost you the price of the tranny (generally about 3-400 bucks used), plus the pedal assembly, clutch, shifter/linkage, etc. and time to install it all.
you're looking at about 1k just in parts, plus the time to install, and mount everything, etc.
you'd be better off going with an h22 or h23 swap including the trans and custom axles.
that'll run you about 5k for everything installed, and you'll have a hard car to keep up with...
you can also consider swapping a b18 into the car, or maybe a late model b20z/vtec (crvtec) motor... that'd work...
