difference between auto and manual motors????
I have found an LS motor for sale for pretty cheap. The only problem is that it has an automatic transmission. I was wondering if there is any difference in the actual motor. Does it have different cams, etc... If I use a manual B-series transimssion and a manual ECU would it be the same as having a manual motor?
I searched but didn't have any luck.... thanks

You'll be fine with an automatic LS motor. To my knowledge, the cams are the same for the US nonVTEC motors and only the JDM DOHC VTEC motors use different cams for auto and manual.
I have a 96 B18B1 with 92 YS1 GSR cable tranny in a 91 CRX DX which the longblock was from an auto car. Good thing about an auto motor is that is less likely to have been abused or over revved.

Automatic LS motors use an EGR valve. And the plumbing is in the intake manifold. I would suggest using a manual transmission intake manifold.
