That could work. Just do your research on where to find the best clips, and what to look for. I would make certain you get a full body wiring harness (to front kickpanel) to speed up the process.
I used to have a na with 93 jdm 3sgte swap that I performed myself. With basic bolt ons the power was certainly nice. Whether or not I had a "freak" 3sgte I was able to easily pull from my friends Sti with exhaust/intake, and it would certainly put you in the seat
I wish I still had an mr2
