I appreciate the info.
Can you be more specific with the tranny swaps? any good write ups anywhere? What car does the tranny come out of? What about the 5 speed swap? is that worth the time/money/effort? any good write ups for that anywhere?

Where do you get parts for these things? Is the ebay junk the only option?

I'm not looking to do an engine swap. I feel it is way too much money, for next to no gains. for the 1,500 to 1,800 (or more) bucks it would take to do the swap in a 20valve from begining to end, you only end up with about 120 whp and the same gas mileage, simple bolt ons would get me that for a fraction of the cost.

Do you know of any good sources of information? I've found a few forums, but they had so much just garage information in them, that it gave me a headache. It was worse than trying to dig through a honda forum for good infomation.
