I would either do what thinjim said or look for a used motor. I picked up a J32A2 for 800 bucks with 30k on it. It wouldnt be hard at all to convert it to the manual motor. Tell them to keep your old motor around so that you can reuse the cam gear and the 3 sensors. It will save money (alot) if the motor you find is a auto motor
