So whats the differnce with the tranny? Designed for power in lower RPM's?

So you are saying i *COULD* just get a 3sgte engine and drop it in with a new ECU and wiring, and run it as is, it would just not work that well?

the idea is to get it running in to short term for the least $$$. long term i can spend more on it. so if i could drop the engine in and then just do a tranny later i might be able to do it, but if i have to do the whole nine yards off the bat no way i could afford it.

Will a 3s-ge drop right in? or does it need all the same stuff as the turbo?
