I have a 97 civic and I'm looking to do a j32a2 swap next year.

One of my buddies recently got his dealer license and I was wondering what kind of tech I would be able to transplant into my civic? Gauge cluster, speakers, seats etc.

I'm considering purchasing two cars with him, an auto 01-03 CLS type S for engine and a base 04-08 TL for transmission so I can use AEM.

I'm just wondering if this is the most effective route to take.

Thanks!
