Mk1 engine swap - auto to manual

[TigerK]

Hi all

My first post in this section

A friend has bought a MK1 MX5 1.6 with a seized engine, and has been offered a replacement engine which comes from an automatic. Usually I'd expect the differences to be in the gearbox, but are there any differences between an auto and manual engine which he should look out for? I'm thinking engine management systems etc...

Thanks in anticipation of your replies
