I was going to get a JDM off ebay. How long would it usually take to do this swap cuz this is for the most part my daily driver. I have other cars to use but I'd rather be drivin the dawg as soon as possible. Do you think it could be done in a few weekends if I had help.

please dont go jdm ebay, ive heard such bad stories. google jdm engines and get one direct from the importers, i was planning on the swap too and i can assure you that the prices are about the same and dealing direct is always easier than ebay.

Hey what all do you have to do to convert from auto to manual if i got the manual trans? Sorry if a dumb question but I'm a newb when it comes to engine swaps.

Also I was looking at these motor mounts and it says works with non-turbo trans or stock trans. Do they mean the stock 2200 trans. Cuz that would probaly save some money and take away my worry of driveshaft issues.
