Default Swap problem w/ b16a.

I own a 89 Civic dx hatch. Its automatic. Does this mean that if i buy a b16a, i will have to buy it with the automatic
tranny (if it comes in automatic, or maybe ill need a different tranny altogether), or is there such a thing as buying it with the standard tranny and then doing some work so itll be standard. (Could be a costly operation im thinking, and might not even be possible).
THanks in advance for any info.

You got time and money? yes? than anything is possible! However, it will be a big PITA to change over from auto to manual... and yes, you will need a different tranny than your stock dx one, If that's what you mean.
