You can change the tranney to the japanese tranney the sir-g which is an automatic vtec. might convert to stick but for now this is what i have to work with really i jus want to completely build the motor so i could jus swap it later into a manuel shell or do the conversion later but for now i gotta be on the road so thats what im biuilding and besides imma have a fully built ls vtec that i couyld swap in and out of any honda for years to come. ive seen a few automatic ls vtec builds and they have went down without a problem so its a wrapp block= red head=white valve cover=red black and white the motor looks crazy
