Default Mini-motor swap (b16 or SR20VE)

Frankly I'm sick of having to hear that I have to pay 3 grand to fix my 2003 mini's manual tranny. I just want to throw something else in completly, maybe a Honda motor and tranny or Nissan SR20DET or VE?
Has someone done this and if so can you provide me with the links and such to do this swap!! Thanks!

The honda Vtec is popular in the early/vintage mini's I've never seen it in a newer mini ...
Like anything else I'm sure it's possible if you have deep enough pockets and and acsess to tons of tools for fabrication ect as well as a great electrician to wire it all up
