Will an automatic engine work?
I just got a 94 d16z6 engine from a friend and want to put it into my 89 lx, however the 94 comes from an automatic, and the 89 is a 5 spd. I know that the d16z6 will bolt right in and work with an 89 tranny and i was told that all i need for it to work is my 5spd clutch, pressure p, and flywheel. I need to know if there is anything needed to be done to make this possible!!! Help i need some serious clarification fast here!!!

Im pretty sure the MOTOR has absolutely nothing to do with the whole automatic or manual -- its all in the tranny... so if you are just swapping on a manual tranny it shouldnt be a big deal.

you will probably have an extra vacuum hose on the intake manifold as well. Not a big deal though, just cap it off.

more than likely the cams are auto cams meaning less torque for you. try and call honda and check for different part #'s on the auto and manual cams.
