it can be done
just look if car frame is rusty move away from the deal if its fine and non accidental then go right ahead
get engine swap also install new radiator if old one is rusty use coolant proper 5w30 engine oil and you are good to go
when getting work done get all suspension work done to and it will serve you good for the 3-5 years

When swapping, please swap complete engine with all the wiring and ecu and sensors. Because I swap only the engine and suffering till now. All D series engines look same but they are different, they may run on your stock ecu but it will not run proper. Mileage will be bad.
