Yes you will have to get the tranny with the new engine. Placeracing makes the swap/mount/driveshaft/shifter kit for the swap. That alone is nearly a grand.

It's over a grand. If you buy it from OSS, it's $1315 and some change.

Hell yeah man. Not sure what I want though. Turbo B16 or LS/VTEC. I can turbo the B16 for about the same price as what you told me you paid for the LS/VTEC.
