    i have done it before. its best if you have a 5.0 doner car off the top of my head here is what you will need to change,
    engine and all accessories
    radiator
    trans and crossmember, driveshaft
    rearend and the brake line runing to the rear end
    fuel lines from the tank to the engine
    brakes and booster 4cyl brakes wont cut it!
    ecu, firewall harness, and engine harness
    the 91 firewall harness will NOT work on your 93 you will need to find a later 92 0r a 93 firewall harness

    yes i had a doner 91 gt. ran great I later sold it. i also 5 luged it. also auto to 5 speed swap ill be honest this is not a swap for a novice if you have only done simple honda swaps i doubt you will be able to pull it off in a timely manner. its not a weekswap! here is a pic of mine below.
