Ok, So I have come across 2 cars at a friends shop that were abandoned there. One is a DC Integra, other is a EG Hatch. Down side is they are both auto. I can probably get one, if not both VERY cheap. I have never done a trans swap and wondered what the average cost and time it takes to do one.

I was thinking of getting both and putting the LS motor in the hatch w/ a GS-R transmission.

BTW just realized this is car talk, can someone move this to general tech, thanks.

I've done an auto to manual swap on my car. It isn't that bad. It is only a matter of taking things off and putting things back on. As far as cost goes I do not know because I bought a wrecked donor car. It took us about 2-3 days work. Probably a total of 18 hrs or less. Most of that was looking for the random tools that we didn't have.
