I'd do it at the drop of a hat if I needed a reliable beater. Pick up all that stuff for about $300 (mostly new items). The only thing you have to be careful about (imo) is the mechanical skill/knowledge the person who performed the swap. At the most I would be ready to source a new engine, have the capacity to drop it in, and re-wire it (and the most drawn out part if they did a hack job to make it run). If you are lucky it will only need a main relay, some wiring/timing fixed, and a new master/slave cylinder which can all be had for little money. Then a tune up and snows, good to go!My work: Flikr.

I believe the engine he put in is obd2 so that may be why his dizzy isn't woking. If you scoop it up you can probably get it going with a dizzy adapter (obd2-obd1) off ebay. Then you need a clutch (lots of people have those layin around). The main relay may even be good, the guy probably just didn't know what he was doin when he swapped it and he can't get it running so he thinks thrown parts at it will fix it. You will most likely need to move a few plugs around (like the fan temp sensor and intake temp sensor). Get that sh!tMy work: Flikr.
