Most buggys use VW power, and most VW's have manual trannys. VW's are the easiest to setup and the lightest. (no water weight) My first sandrail had a VW bus engine and tranny. Frame cost me $450 used.
I am building another buggy using a Honda engine and drivetrain out of a '87 Accord. I built the frame myself, so it only cost about $150 in materials. Biggest problem with FWD car parts is lacking suspension travel. Building a shift linkage can be tricky, but may be easier with an auto.
Anything is possible with buggys. Decide what you can afford, build it, then have a blast!
