Ok.... now that I've moved this post into the correct area I will answer a few questions.
First off this is a really major swap..... possibly harder than some engine swaps.
You have to worry about the pedals, clutch hydraulics (master cylinder), gear linkage, gear shifter, various electronics, different tranny mounts and you would have to modify a mounting point on the back side of the engine.
To be honest it would be easier (and possibly cheaper) to buy a different Nubira with a 5spd in it.
The automatic tranny is not a bad thing..... some of the fastest drag cars use automatic transmissions.
The 5spd is really hard to get through all the gears cleanly if you have a significant amount of power under the hood.
Given you might have to build up the auto tranny if you go with a high output engine.....but then again you would have to do it on a 5spd as well to ensure you don't snap a few gears/syncros.
I don't know much about the auto transmissions available in the Daewoo cars but if my memory serves me correct they are GM models and there is support for them (for building them up)
So before you go doing this expensive and time consuming project you should ask yourself if it's money well spent.
Me personally..... I'd take the money and buy myself a nice new Garrett ball bearing turbo like a GT28RS.
