Should I buy the 914 trans to swap into my Ghia?

I have a guy near me who has a couple 914 trannys that he'd sell me for $100!
My question is how much more difficult will it be to swap one of these in my Ghia?

Check the earlier note about trannies. It gives the URL for an article that describes putting a 901 into a Ghia. The 914 tranny is pretty much the same, except the shift linkage goes in at a different place.

Oh, and you'll have five speeds in reverse and only one forward gear. And it's quite a bit of money to have someone flip the ring and pinion.

I suggest starting with a 901 tranny, not a 914 one.
