just convert everything all in one. screw the auto. its just gonna be a dissapiontment later. i was gonna say either swap in a LS motor, not too high on price, or just go with like a D16Y8, that would be about the same or a lil cheaper. i say ls, then later add a Vtec head, no its not as easy as just slapping a head on, but cross that road when u get too it. hasport makes a mounting kit i think. biggest project is gonna be converting from auto to 5spd. u can buy full motor kits that come with everything and really simplify the process tho.

i have to agree just save and wait. why pull the motor twice. just do both swaps at once. save yourself from buying 2 tranny's.
