    In need of advice

    I have the opportunity to buy literally everything but the shell from an 88 accord dx fuel infected w/automatic transmission. Extremely cheap... person selling was crazy and said they were gonna do rear wheel drive and stripped all of it.
    And is selling like everything. I have an 89 dx manual carb...

    I want to do a carb to fuel infected conversion asap, my question is can i swap to mine or would or be easier to engine swap and do an auto to manual tranny conversion

    Any advice would be awesome, please

    Then maybe I'm wrong or he is... Ha still if i were to purchase and engine swap since it only has 98k miles on it. Would a manual trans swap be easy ?
    Could my 5 spd just bolt right in?
