Trust me when I tell you the lightning harness will make your life WAY easier. You may not NEED it, but you WILL have to modify yours so much that you will WISH you had just spent the cash and got one. (i.e. lengthening the TB wires, the fact that there is no intercooler plug, no IAT 2 plug which is your post charged air temp VERY IMPORTANT!!!!, Alternator wire is different since you have to use a S/C alternator as the N/A alt is too deep.) As far as the trans goes, the flywheel and all should work just fine. Unless I am mistaken, it all bolts up to the motor the same. Your on the right track by doing MONTHS of research and buying here and there when you find a deal. Good luck. I hope to have mine buttoned up in a bit...
Yeah just got to get the "wanna" to pull the motor. Right now my "give a ****'s" busted and she can sit in the driveway. LOL
