Engine/transmission swap in 97 accord question

    I would like to change a 97 Accord automatic trans to a
    standard. Questions:

    1. Do I have to change the ECU?
    2. Will I have to use an Accord trans or, will a Prelude trans
    work?
    3. What is involved in installing a clutch pedal?

    I was also thinking of putting in a different motor (VTEC of
    course). Which motors would be a good canidate for the swap?
    Which transmission should I use with this motor (Accord Standard
    trans?). How much torque/horsepower could this transmission handle?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Well I swap that i heard of is the h22 swap if your looking for some
    performance, which is the prelude engine. DOHC and vtec. Normally when you
    get an h22 engine they come with the transmission. Also the ecu should come
    with the engine you buy.
    I was wondering about the clutch pedal myself.
