Well s14s arent common in junkyards so your luck of finding one there wont be too good.
What you should do is scavenge all 240sx forums for a totalled s14 or someone that's parting one out with a manual tranny. You can then ask for all the components that you need for the 5spd conversion.
Every car's auto -> 5spd swap has it's own personal small details, like BMWs have to trick the ECU that the car is always on "Park" and whatnot. If there's any for the s14, you should ask your fellow Nissan friends if there's anything to that. I'm sure someone here knows.
I personally turned my car in to Ter-Tech for the swap. I cannot afford to not have a car and for me to pull off such a swap I'd probably waste a good week or two on it. It is time consuming, especially if it's your first time. I would look into saving up some extra bucks, because in the long run... you can make that money up in the time you would waste not having a car by working ( I make $500 bi-weekly... the cost of the labor for the swap )... and you would have your car ready in a few days, not weeks.
Beyond that, it's a long and costful process ( if you want it done right ). So good luck with it.
