Get a p28 from an auto car, and everything else will bolt up fine. The only thing you'll need to do is add a few wires for vtec. VERY easy swap. Same mounts, exhaust fitment, etc. One thing that many people struggle with is getting the tranny off the motor with the auto. you'll have to take off the flywheel cover plate, and there are a bunch of 10mm bolts that connect the "flywheel plate" to the torque converter. You'll have to turn the engine over by hand to get them all out. Once that's done, and you disconnect the cable for the shifter, you're good to go. Real easy and straight forward.
