If you want a GSR motor, look for a '94-'95. They are OBD1, have hydro trannies, and a direct bolt in, into your car.
If you want plug and play, just get a skunk2 intake manifold and a rechipped P28 ecu. Then you will have zero wiring to do.

just have the mindset that everything isnt going to go perfect as planned..
and then you will be happy with any result 
and yes a helms manual HELPS alot

Re: Is it that difficult to do my own swap? (IM ALL SHO)
When i did mine, I just figured the worst that could happen was that i would have to have my car towed to a shop to finish it.
It's definitly not as hard as you would think. Did mine using hand tools, No helms, dirt driveway, in the middle of winter.......
