You can slap a Prelude engine + tranny in there, and the 97+ Prelude has that "Autostick" tranny. But, it'll be a real pain the rear end. You'll have to run a new harness, wire it up, and your car will be front-heavy with that massive 2.2 in the front.
Stick isn't too hard. I'd give it 48 hours before you're a pro, and I say go for it. If you're looking for a little bit of action, even a 1.5 Civic with a 5 speed is a ton of fun.
If not, you might want to consider a Jackson supercharger, or a turbo kit.
