I want to do an engine swap but am not really sure where a good place it to look for it. I am not going to be racing, but the stock engine just isnt doing it for me. I am looking for something manual, that will give me a bit more speed and is not too pricey.
 
Sell the car and pick up a 6 speed 1st gen TSX.

I completely agree. What you want to do is too much work and too expensive to be worthwhile. Why hack up a perfectly decent commuter car that would probably fetch a decent price on the market? Sell it and buy yourself something more sporty to start with. Look towards a TSX or a V6 Accord...
 
i figured that may be the way to go, but kinda didn't want to get rid of my car, but money is money lol
 
Well, techinically there ARE options with your car. You could swap heads with one of the more performance-oriented K-series heads (RSX, TSX, etc.). You can also swap auto-to-manual, you'd just need absolutely everything from the manual-transmission version of the car.

But like I said, once you add up the time and cost investment of all that stuff, it probably makes more sense to just sell the car and purchase a sportier version to start with...
