ATTENTION HONDA EXPERTS! Can I swap a b20 engine w/ manual transmission into a auto crv?

A friend of mine has a AWD crv with a automatic and the engine blew up.
He is selling it for 500 and I want to know what is the best possible engine swap for it?
I'm liking the b20 engine but not sure if it will fit
Not only that but I want to make it into a manual! Is that possible? I know it would need like a hole in the dash for the shifter knob but I'm not sure. And the transmission also has to work for the AWD.

So I'm relying on you Honda mechanics out there to help me out?! And if you had any figures on how much the parts would cost I could appreciate it! Labor is on me!
P.S. I need the best combination of cheap and power! Looking to spend about 1500 on parts

How often should a car's AC compressor need to be replaced?

We have a 2007 Honda CRV with 120,000 miles on it. The AC compressor system just failed. I feel like that's too soon for a 7 year old car. I've had cars for 10-15 years and never had that happen. How often should that happen?

Who is at fault in this collision?

I was with my girlfriend and my 9mo daughter she had a doctors appointment for her shots. I need to stop and pump some gas so i pull in the 76 gas station. When I was leaving the gas station getting in to traffic and trying to get to the last turning lane. The light for first two lanes to go straight is red. I make eye contact with the drive the driver waves to let me in I then merge in and I wave to the next driver to the left he lets me in so when i finally get in, i'm signaling this whole time i'm yielding to see if its clear to get into the turning lane a silver honda crv about 7 cars behind, the turning light has been on green for a while now, so as i merge with my signal on. Thinking she would slow down and let me in she suddenly hits me

I'm very thankful no one was injured in either vehicle, also I have full coverage insurance.

How to fix dents on your car?

My husband and I went on vacation for 5 weeks by my car. My elder son was using his brand new car. First of all he did smth to it and it wouldnt start, then he obviously was parking it wherever, so it got all dented by recklessly opened doors by other car owners. Also it seems he was driving and reversing through some bushes - all back is scratched. Now my husband does not want it repainted ( even thou my son would be the one paing for it), but it does not look good - all scratched and dented. My question is can we fix it somehow without having it all repained? He just bought it all new, looks awful. It is Honda CRV.

Added (1). My son was using my husband's car, not his own. He does not have one
