Question Two RX-7 Swap????

Okay... Today i saw two 2nd gen. RX-7 lying around the corner of a repair shop. So i walked up and asked the guy if it was for sale. And he said that BOTH of them were for $400. But the problem is one of them needs a new transmission (auto) and the other needs a new motor (manual, shot motor). So... my question is, is it possible to swap the motor from the automatic one (no sunroof/moonroof) into the other one (shot motor, manual, w/ sunroof/moonroof). I dont know what both models are. But thats all i know. So what do you guys think? is it possible to swap the motors? if so how much would it cost if i were to take it to a reputable car shop or how hard would it be for me and a couple of my friends to put in? thanks in advance

Exactly HOW much would a good running motor go for? thinking of getting one and just dump it in the manual one. ...what do you guys think?

the only difference is youd have to swap the flywheel and front counterweight. not a big deal.
