I've been driving stick since I was like 3 (lawn tractor..lol). Only one of my vehicles were auto, my 89 chev full size pickup, any I only had it about 1 year, went back to stick.

Is that how much you have on hand? I was going to reccomend you buy privately, but I'm guessing you don't have the cash for that.

What exactly do you want from your car. In 1-2 sentences please. Cause I think a swap is not for you, maybe a turbo setup

That sounds about right for a respectable daily driven setup on a D series. Might be a little more still because if its a daily driver and you need the reliability, you can't cheap out on anything. Plus you will want to spend some time getting tuned. Tuning is the key to reliability. You could have all the right parts, but if it runs like crap, it's not very reliable is it? lol
