IMHO, the best donor car for a 5MT is an '04+ WRX. The WRX gearing is a good match for the SVX motor, and the '04+ WRX 5MT is the strongest of the USDM 5MTs. If you keep a look-out, its not too hard to find a WRX 5MT and all the needed parts for less than $1500.
Agreed, but I thought '03 was when they widened the gears?

Here's a basic partslist.

Shifter + Boot
Pedal Set
Rear Diff (won't need for WRX)
Clutch Master/Slave Cylinders
Clutch, throw out bearing, pressure plate
Flywheel + Bolts
Starter + Bolts
