the biggest i've seen on that one was 17" w very little clearance. you dont wanna go bigger than that. An automatic to manual is not worth the headache especially on a carb'd accord. I have a carb'd 87 5spd that i'm converting over with a fuel injected engine. I'm pulling the wire harness fr a parts car over, gotta pull the dash,fender, some carpet out b/c a carb'd setup isnt interchangeable with a motor you really want... it's not worth the time and $$ but i'm doing it b/c it dont cost me anything except my spare time.
