Im new to swaps

I have a 1999 Honda accord automatic, which my transmission went out

. Im wanting to do a motor swap because i can probly get that done for about the same price. Im curious if its difficult to do a JDM F20B swap w/ manual tranny? Or any other motors I should consider? I hate automatics and im stuck with this car for awhile. So im trying to make the best out of it.

the F20 is strong for top end, which with all the weight of the CG chassis, won't be fun.
try doing an H22 or an H23 JDM or USDM.
if JDM check local smog laws.

you wont be able to pay for a swap for the same price as a new trans fyi. you could buy the h22 engine/trans for the cost of buying a rebuilt auto trans and having it put in the car. if youd do the work yourself it might come close...

why not swap to 5spd now (~$1k for parts and labor) and save for an h22. better yet, save up, build and boost an f23 for less than the cost of an h22 :147703263745b138a51
