The reason for the swap is cus i dont have enuff acceleration and the motor has 130,000 miles on it and im not to happy driving around with a car with such high mileage even though i know civics get more then 200k. But whats the difference between a b16 with a auto and a b18b with an auto. I might go with that all i know is im getting a new engine and tranny so why not get something better then what i already got

If yall know of ne other good sites to look at it'll be greatly appreciated. O yea if theres ne body that lives in the Tri-state area holla at me.
However, I really must mirror the opinion of my colleagues when they suggest another motor. The torque curve of the B16 does not really lend itself well to an automatic gearbox, at least not the way that US drivers would tend to want to drive and would tend to want the motor/gearbox combination to feel.
