Automatic Engine , onto an manual car?
well I have a manual Car , and I can buy an automatic engine .. but I have 0 interest in the automatic engine . I can buy a 5 speed trans .. and I can find an ECU ...
Would I be able to just switch the 5 speed onto the automatic engine? or is there alot more to it?
Also what made the auto engines detuned vs the manual ones? was it the actual tyranny or the ECU ,

Its the ECU that makes it less powerful.
You can put an auto engine in a manual car, You need to change something on the engine ( front or rear plate? im not sure exactly which, but im pretty sure its relativly simple either way).

you don't need to change the irons, there is a vacuum system on the engine that needs to be deleted though, under the upper intake(an auxiliary vacuum canister and solenoid). while you're there, swap to the manual transmission engine harness otherwise you need to adapt the auto harness and repin the connectors at the ECU for the manual transmission connectors.

You do not need to change the rear plate. The auto will have one extra bolt hole though. Also as Karack said theres an extra vacuum chamber that was on the auto...not sure what it did but its there. Other than that you should be good to go.

they also have mushy shifts and suck up closer to 25% of the horsepower through drivetrain losses compared to about 15% with the manuals.
at any rate, the auto engine will mount to a manual transmission fine, you however cannot put an auto transmission onto a manual engine as there is no place to bolt the starter on the manual engine rear iron.

Change the flywheel, get a new pilot bearing as the auto engine won't have one.
Make a blanking plate for the rear iron where the starter sat. And I think it's one less mounting bolt differance.

The short-blocks are the same (performance wise) for the 13B-REW, regardless of years. There may be small differences outside of the short-block within the same year due to emission requirements for various countries (like no pre-cat for JDM) , but the core engine is the same.
