H22A, auto and other mods...

Hey everyone. I'm not gonna do this anytime soon , but I would like to eventually swap an H22A into my 2000 civic hatch (DX). I was wondering a few things.
1) Is it hard to find an H22A with an auto tranny?
2) I keep hearing horror stories about people "blowing their engines" is this a common thing?
3) How can you prevent this from happening?
And finally
4) Can I get away with just swaping an H22A and nothing else? After all my car is basicly only a "daily driver".

Thanks in advance people.

you can get an H22 auto. they have the sequential sport shift, so you'll have to pickup all that too, I think. Never thought about keeping the auto.

you'll only blow your engine if you run it hard all the time, or if you don't take care of it.

what do you mean by "nothing else"?? you'll have to get new axles, computer, you may lose your a/c and Power steering (although some shops say they can do it and let you keep both). you may need to relocate the battery, but not 100% sure on that one.

Anyways. hope to help.

1) It matters... If your looking for a JDM or a USDM.
2) You can only blow your engine if you really don't give a shit about it and you don't take care of it.
3) Above
4) Sure you can! You can do anything!

Thanks people. :)
