Default Getting really mad.....

91 Acura Integra AT is what I have. I ordered a B16A w/ Manual Tranny from ARD Performance (very nice service, excellent motor condition, alright price)

I know that I should just find a manual Integra and go from there, but I have personality invested in my car, and it would actually be easier for me to try and switch transmissions then just buy a new/old car. Here's my question....

If the engine and tranny are both designed to go together, than shouldn't the rest be a little easier. I realize the work, and hassle of doing this switch.

Any help at all regarding this switch would be great. I have read the report on switching, but it was on a Civic, and it was a RHD car. Please help, my 140hp just isn't enough

You will have to change the transmissoin mount since the auto and manual
are different. Then you will have to install the shift linkage and shifter. Also
have to add the clutch cable and pedal assembly.

Anything specific I should be looking for when I'm finding these parts? Will stock Honda/Acura parts do, and if so, what are the easiest swap cars for a 91 integra?

Anyone who takes care of their car, or cares about their car at all has personality invested into it. Unless you really don't care about what you do to your car, in which case you probably shouldn't be giving advice to those who do. Don't you think that if I knew what I was doing already I wouldn't be asking these questions? I'm trying to get more information, that's all.

you will need a custom mount, place racing might make one.
most of the other parts you need can be had from the dealer.

i do not understand your other question

I just thought what you said sounded funny, I've never heard anyone say they had "personality invested " in their car.

And if you don't know what your doing this is a really difficult swap.
BTW, you must not know much if your using a Kamikaze "Headers" on a N/A engine and 17" wheels, your losing HP from both of these, and switching to the B16 your gonna gain a bit of HP but lose TQ.
