Default Can i put a manual engine into automatic car?

i got an automatic eg civic with a blown motor.... is it possible to use an engine from a manual civic and put it in my automatic? anyone got a link on how to do this? is it as simple as taking out the clutch and flywheel and switching over the automatic parts?

It's basically that simple. You'll need to reuse some parts off the automatic, maybe intake manifold (not sure how 92-95 manual works for IACV) and you should be alright.
I'm doing the opposite with an automatic engine in my manual converted 96 Civic.

wow. this has to be the MOST NEWB question ever!
yes you can use the "manual" engine on an automatic
and engine is an engine. its purpose is to provide motion to the transmition which intern move the wheels.
so it does not matter is the engine has s manual or auto tranny, it can be used in either.
remove the flywheel and install your automatic one. then just install the trans and your set

You sir are an jerk.... ⬆️⬆️
I'm just learning to kinda work on vehicles and I didn't know if you could put an automatic engine in a manual or vise versa.
How can someone know if they don't ask or not taught.
You was once told or read it on an page some where.
Don't be mean to people and act like your better cause you knew what they didn't.
you could have been nice about it......

The comment you quoted was from 14 years ago, dinkleberg.

Yeah, that's an old comment you're replying to but you're right anyway. I would ask a lot of "NEWB" questions when I first started learning about cars and there was always at least one person belittling me and making it seem like I was asking an obvious question and that made me stupid for asking it. No one is born with knowledge and experience, we all have to learn. But there are people who are teacher minded and want to help others to learn and then there are people who like feeling superior to others so they put you down. It's a mechanism used by idiots, like people who get loud in conversations to make it sound like they're right.
