I have a few questions...

1) I assume it's a 'S' model with the F22A1, correct?
2) Why do you need to swap it?
3) You can swap to a manual transmission, its time consuming and expensive, but can be done.

Cost me $1400 for engine, new head gasket, cover seals, fuel filter, timingbelt, plugs, dizzy, wires, cherry picker, o2 sensor, tps sensor, new wts sensor, vtec solonoid, clutch and other ****... Plus lots of time putting it in and getting it to run perfect.. btw i dont recommend diy(pain in the ass even if you know what your doing), just pay a shop 4-6k to do h22 engine swap, you can use the auto tranny i think. i know the manual tranny is reusable... just my $.02
btw UTFSE

I am almost done with mine and have had good luck so far, but its a PAIN in the butt. I would highly recommend paying someone to do it

i am paying a shop to do it so if it facks up its on their ass, but i want to keep it an automatic i am tired of owning sticks (i have a 71 302 boss mav and a 79 camaro all sticks) but i want to switch cause i found a big oil leak after buying it and it has 195,000 miles on the engine

jsmooney

what exactly is leaking? it could be something simple to fix.

blah_ha

well its around the valve cover and somewhere near the fuel injection
but now the car wont turn over its like the engine is not getting any power not even the starter and we just cranked to put it on the ramps now its not cranking so i need major help

You would have to be crazy to pay that much for a H22 swap.

if I were to pay that much, it would be for a k24....

dudefromaz

I thought he wanted it to be a manual :/

jsmooney

you can do most of the work yourself. it's not skill or knowledge intensive. most of it is like putting together a puzzle and following instructions

jsmooney

it would be cheaper (and better) in the long run to sell your auto and then buy a manual with the h22 swap
