Ok now that everyone understands lets start this from a what are the possibile problems to this stance and what would be needed as a parts list to finish this.
I may just do this in the next year when the Wagon is finished.

He didn't say "should have bought a V6 manual Accord sedan". He just said a manual. Doesn't mean it's even a honda...Like AccordSleeper said, there are options out there in the same price range if you want a V6 manual sedan.
Is it possible, yes. Is it smart? In my opinion no.

go for the CL-S 6spd , i believe it has an LSD? it'd be kind of hard to find a 6spd off an accord at the moment.
New accord V6's still used the J-series right? I'm not sure which manual transmissions are possible on that...
one of the older v6 guys, w/ a C-series used a legend transmission which came off anotehr c-series engine.

for the cost of swapping to a manual, you could have just bought a cl-s 6sp. it gonna be hard to find the tranny and parts, but if you have the $$ to burn, why not. if you dont mind cutting up your brand new, smooth, warrantied ride... go for it.
imo, not worth it at all.

Here's the deal:
the dude may actually like an Accord Sedan and was willing to buy an automagic cuz that was the only way to get a 6cyl.
If youre truly serious about this kind of swap it can be done. It will cost serious loot, and be hard to find. Solution: spend more money and buy all your parts factory direct.
good luck to anybody that actually tries it...cuz a lotta folks will be pretty envious when they see the final product: A 240 hp, 6 cyl, sedan with 6spd, LSD, and all honda.
