uhh...

the engine block is fine, you can't use the h22a auto tranny or the auto h22a ecu

you can use your Si manual tranny, and obtain a p13 H22a ecu 92-95

If you take an engine that was orginally auto and mate it to a 5spd transmission, you have to obtain the 5spd ecu.

manual tranny+auto ecu=NO
manual tranny+manual ecu=YES
auto tranny+auto ecu=YES

If you get an auto engine, you need to get yourself a manual transmission, manual ecu and manual transmission throttle body for the intake manifold.
