shaun at IMW in Carlisle is really well versed with those transmissions and he is the one i had check over my K trans and install the quaife
looks like a nice build and power shouldnt be a problem, only thing i dont understand is why your going with a 2.0 instead of the 2.4

Ideally I would love to go with a PPG dogbox, but I could go through 10 stock transmissions at that price. I can afford to break a stock trans with an LSD, I can't afford to break a PPG box. I am well versed in transmissions, my Dseries has a one of a kind transmission with LSD that I put together, so I'll address the issue when I start breaking stuff.
As for the 2.0, a few reasons really.
-I'd have to sleeve a 2.4, the walls are too thin to support the power.
-2.4 limits how high I can rev the engine. This means I will have a smaller powerband and a probably not enough RPM to get the MPH out of 4th gear.
-2.0 block is free, 2.4L is not lol.
