Actually, I'm going to abandon the whole 5k modifications I'd planned. I 
also purchased a used 034 EFI to put in it that I'll have to sell as 
well. I have a 91 200 20V, and the 5k doesn't get driven much any more. 
I'm just going to continue fixing the little bugs on the 5k and sell it 
in a year or so. So it's not worth the time and $$ to make the fun car I 
was planning.

The tranny will bolt right in the 5k. I don't know about the 4k at 
all....never had one. On the 5k, it's necessary to swap in the rear diff 
from a 91 200 or V8 to get a matching 4.11:1 ratio in the back.

Certainly some of the other 4k experts would have a good idea of how 
involved this swap would be.
