Ok. I have a 94 Honda Civic Ex auto (which sucks) but I want to put a B16A in it and I dout I can do this because it's and auto. But is there a way that I can put this motor in there and make it a 5-speed or would it just be better to go out and find a 5-speed civic? Could someone please help me out with this. Becasue if I can do it then I will take it to where ever any can do it at.

You gotta change trannys and a bunch of other shit. Costly unless you do most of the work.

Well, i believe your goin to need to find an entire front clip of a SI w/ the b16.
Youre goin to need a lot of the parts off of that to convert it over to a manual car since you dont have some of required parts on yours already. Now, exactly what all you will need from it, im not really sure, but i think you should start looking for a whole front clip.
Altho, im sure you could probably find a 5-speed civic like yours for pretty cheap, especially since you dont need it running already. It might come out cheaper to do it that way and definitly be a lot less work.

Auto to manual is pretty costly regardless.. its alot of work... probly be the best bet to save up and buy you a shell and then drop you b16 in it..

for a auto to manual conversion + a vtec swap i charge $1500 in labor.
the easiest thing to do is find a front clip from a engine importer like Jarco or Nad Auto etc. it will come with the things you need to do the 5 speed conversion.
