Yep, a bolt on providing you have the driveshaft, mount and backing plate of
a U20 engine. 5th gear is overdrive on the standard trannies. It's .852
The problem of 1600s and 5 speeds is that 1st gear is higher, so you lose
acceleration. However the 5 speed is far superior to the 4 speed in many
respects especially shifting. I ran both and the 5 speed is much better and
I can really cruise w/o winding my engine out on the highway.
