NC engine swap into NA?

has this been done?
is it easy?
not sure what the engine in my NA is like (and going by my experience of the previous owner's mechanical aptitude, i have concerns).
i would rather go for a very low mileage 2.0 than a turbo.
discuss.

Easier, cheaper and comparable (though slightly less) power to go with a late 1.8 swap.

not worth the hassle.
fit an 1800 engine or even a factory 1800 turbo engine. the NC engine has he intake/exhaust on diffeternt sides of the engine also.
by the time you spent shit loads on engine/gearbox/ECU and then at least 4 grand to fit it you could easily have a very tidy 98-2000 RS NB instead.
