Could a Auto LS fit into 98 auto civic
I wonder if I could put a DOHC engine in my car without the auto to manual swap. Maybe the earlier ls auto setups could fit in my car. Any suggestions of any swaps without the auto to man swap.

wireing up the automatic to automatic is going to be a bitch, and cost almost as much as a 5 speed conversion, unless u get hooked up.

With my own eyes, I have never seen an automatic b-series civic.
I heard of a guy doing it once, but he swapped the whole chassis harness from an integra.
But yeah, you could mount it in there with stock honda parts, it would just be a pain to make it work.

Actually, i spent some time thinking about this, there are no stock parts to do this swap into a 96-00 civic.
It is possible in a 92-95, but not newer civics.
The rear bracket would have to be custom welded, wiring not gonna happen.
It's possible, but a lot of custom work would be involved, and it would be such a marginal difference it would be hard to justify the cost.
Unless you are just some rich person who just likes throwing away money.
I that case, I will do the swap, it will be $3000 + parts.
Seriously, auto to manual is far easier by comparison and you will never look back.

THere has got to be a way
is no way to swap in a motor with an auto tranny (DOHC) with a pure bolt in.

you cant just swap a auto LS in a 92 95 either.. you need to get the passenger side subframe tranny mount area.. and for the newer years i wouldnt thikn its possible just becuz of the l bracket
