Cliff notes @ bottom

Lately I've been thinking real hard on what to do here.  I finally have enough money to order a complete S13 SR front clip(black top)  and I had intentions of swapping it into my '91 since thats why I bought it in the first place, cuz I like the S13 coupes and it was so hard to find and they're wouldn't be one like mine here.  Well, while I'm doing the swap I'm not gonna have a car to drive since my S14 isn't really drivable, but if I put that SR into the S14 I can drive my S13 around as I do now.  My S14 is not an SE and its an auto, so I'd hafta swap all that stuff too  .I know the swap will take longer than expected so thats why I'm thinking this. What you guys think?  I like both body style much, maybe its more a convenience issue here....

CN: will has $$ for swap, but doesn't know which 240 to put it into <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

S14 = not running, pain in the ass, automatic.

S13 = running and driveable, rare.

S13, obviously.

I would go with the S-13, but why is the S-14 not driveable?? &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'>

Put the sr in the s13. &nbsp;They are lighter and more rigid than the s14 and you want your best engine in the light more sporty car...even if it doesn't look as good <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

I'd spend the money on repairing the S14 first. And then put the SR in the S13.
