why would you do that? The Duratec motor is just as good as the Ecotec, and quite a bit smaller too.

This is the problem with watercooled, the trannies that will handle it cost a ton. Gotta be a better trans out there.

Run the ecotec trans into a rear diff? I wonder how long the stock trans would hold up.
