I'd suggest you pick one that hasn't been messed with and has the transmission you prefer and the color you like.
You may find that with some good tires and a modified exhaust, that the car is enough fun and you won't need an engine swap.

Thanks, that's good advice, and the welcome! I've been lurking for a couple of years, and finally had something to write about.
I definitely want to go with a manual transmission, as that's what I've driven most of my life. I also want to get a bone stock car. That's also a good call out about how it has been cared for mattering a lot.
On the engine swap - you may well be right that once I get the right tires on I might not actually want to change it. I used to drive a Honda CRX some years back, and that was absolutely insanely fun. One of the reasons I want one of the twins is because I see them as the only current equivalent of the CRX (yes, yes, I know they're quite different).
But that said, the idea of an LS in a twin is just too rad! But time will tell!
