I've been looking at purchasing a del sol, and I've been researching engine swaps. Is it better to get a cheaper del sol and put in a B16A2 ($3000 + $3000 + ?), or get a one with the DOHC VTEC. ($7000)

Part of this is cost, how much would it cost for a shop to install a B16A2 in a D del sol?

I also noticed that auto del sols are ususally cheaper, since new motors come with transmission, would it matter if the car is an auto or manual?

(I'm assuming the prices at passwordjdm are competitive)
