It's POSSIBLE, but RARELY sensible. There are usually quite a lot of small parts that aren't interchangeable and make the swap a lot harder than you think. The sensible option is usually to sell the car you don't want and buy the one you want instead.
Yes, but whether it's a simple drop in swap depends on whether we're talking about an older vehicle with mechanical controls, or a newer vehicle with electronic controls. In the case of the former, it should be a simple drop-in swap... say, for example, you have a pre-1993 Chevy pickup.. while the computerized Throttle Body Injection was introduced in 1987, the automatic transmissions which were tied into the engine ECM weren't introduced until 1993, so that would be a simple drop-in swap. Now say you're talking a 2000 model, that's all electronic, and to make an engine from a manual transmission vehicle work in a vehicle with an automatic transmission, you'll have to get that engine ECM reflashed with programming to integrate that automatic transmission.
Yes you can, what is different is the transmission. This has been made more difficult since the '90's by the amount of other stuff physically in the way.
Yes, but if it's going into a car with an electronically controlled transmission, the ECM will need to be reflashed with parameters to operate the automatic transmission.
