Default 1997 HX???

A guy's a buddy of mine told me he would sell me his 1997 at HX coupe for $800 bucks...

Now what im wondering is it something Good to start with. (project wise)???

Would a Y8 mt swap be a nice simple swap?

I'd say the Y8 is going to be simpler swap than the Y5 - the Y5 (m/t) uses a wideband sensor, so there is going to be a little more wiring involved with it. I believe the Y5 also has EGR - more wiring.
