      I have a Mustang with a manual transmission. The engine is seized and is most likely going to need a new engine.

      I understand your reasoning for not swapping in a manual transmission where an automatic was built in. Part of your reasons were the engine setup.

      Does this mean that I need to find an engine from a car with a manual transmission or can the donor car have an automatic.

      Thank you!

        No, the engine itself doesn’t matter, unless it uses a different cam, but that can be changed. Depending on year, you’ll also need the wiring harness and the computer as well as a radiator with a transmission cooler.
