I understand that.. but still leaves you with wanting to swap to manual.. switch you will need a different tranny.. with linkage.. also.. i think there is a different wiring harness on the auto.. so you would have to swap that too.. plus a manual clutch and brake pedal.. running the cutch lines.. plus the clutch master cylinder and reservoir.. plus to interior peices thats small but is needed.. so you will need to add all that in to your math.. and the brakets that hold the pedals, and reservoir.. there is a lot of work and a lot of moeny to put in to it... but running with a frankinstien motor with all the money you put in to it would not be smart.. finding a d16z6 swap would save you time, money, and comes with the tranny that you will need and you can find one around for about 600 to 700.. sorry for being tough on you but if your going to do it.. do it right.. i hope this gives you an idea of what your getting in too.. and i am not telling you no dont do it.. i am saying be smart about it..

I definately agree with killa, all of the extras that arent taken into consideration will add up to a pretty penny. We understand that you got all of this stuff for free from your buddy, but you will have so much less head ache with a complete swap, and it being a d series your supplies are limitless for such little money. Either way you go, research, ask tons of questions, and good luck kid.

So your buying either a blown B18C1/ LS-V or a HOT B18C1/ LS-V.. LOL.. wow dont get pulled over... or dont tell people how much you bought it for.. Because.. you buying a hot engine.. i should call the cops now if i knew where you are.. dude my friend got his gsr stolen.. he found it completly stripped.. also another friend with a JDM B18C got stolen.. they took his engine out in the parking lot.. so i hope god has mercy.. becasue charma is a bitch

the engine was a swap into a 98 civic 4 door but the car caught on fire so it was taken to the junkyard so i have to rebuild the engine nothing too hard. it should only take me about 2 days or so.

Not that I condem it, but I topped my auto 94 ex out at 140 mph. You want more power? Get a turbo
