I started collecting parts for my engine swap almost a year before I actually started the project. Things like that take time, planning, etc... especially if you havn't done anythinglike that before.
I DO have a DX transmission if you're interested. Shipping will be much less b/c you're on the west coast. Keep collecting parts, reading how-tos until you're blue in the face. Study the chilton manuals when you're bored (or on the toilet

) and eventually you'll consider the auto to manual swap easy.
Oh, and you can do lots of cool stuff with your automatic. That civic still has great potential.
