accord shell?
i have a 97 accord special edition as you might know they only come in automatic -_- anyways im wondering where can i find the same generation or same year 4 door accord like mine for sale thats a manual and is just a shell/no engine and if no transmission thats ok i'll buy 1 separately, i try to search accord shell on craigslist but nothing comes up and ik theres a diff word people use instead of shell? if not how can i go about buying a cheap 4 door 5th gen manual accord with no engine and tranny so i can swap my f22b2 engine into it..... thnx

If you are going to go to all that trouble. Just sell yours and buy another one with a running engine and 5 speed. They aren't terribly hard to find as far as cars in general are concerned.

Re: accord shell?
im not trying to swap a manual into an automatic thats too much work for me and quite frankly its alot easier to buy an empty manual and swap the engine!

Re: accord shell?
your way of thinking makes no sence....isnt swapping a engine about as hard as swaping a tranny if not easier since there are less wires
i think the only thing you would really have to do to your auto that would be different is drill that one hole in your firewall, run a wire for reverse lights, and run shift cables
