Hey everyone! So I have been a Honda/Acura enthusiast for quite awhile, and I recently came across a 2nd gen Integra that has been sitting at this auto shop for a long time. I went to check it out one day and found out it is an automatic! :x I have been looking for a project car for quite some time now and plan on swapping whatever I get so whether or not it runs is not a concern of mine. However, the fact that it is an auto is a concern. My question is that if I were to import an engine with a manual transmission, b16 or b18, would there be too many modifications that need to be done for the engine/tranny to fit? I was guessing that I can still fit the engine and tranny in fine but take out all of the old auto console and gearbox and replace with a similar model manual trim console, gearbox, and shifter. I want to find a project car soon but this will be my first swap and I am wondering if I want to go in to an auto-manual conversion for my first project car. Is the full swap as easy as I stated above? Thanks.
