4port engine 4speed transmission swap

Is it possible to interchange 4port engine/4speed transmission, to 4port/6speed, 6port/4speed, 6speed/6speed, manuel engine/4speed-6speed?

you can do a swap for 4 speed with 6 speed engine, but i think you gonna spend a lot of cash. why not just trade the car with the 6 speed engine car.

I'm sure it possible, just about anything is given the proper budge, parts, and mechanical abilities.
HOWEVER: ask yourself if it's truly worth the cost / effort.

Well, i am just curious, in the future if my engine breaks and not fixable, should i get an 6port or stick with the same, for some reason i found out that 4port/4speed have 9 more torque compare to 6port/6speed, and manual engine.

If you motor pops, there is always the rebuild/replace option.

unless you get a 6port/6speed with an ecu, harness, prop shaft, ppf, for cheap, it's not worth the cost.
