its a 5 speed manual gearbox indeed.
Also, its getting pretty off-topic, K20 engines are out of the question....just above buget, WAY above. I just want to know if the V6 engines have potential or not. If somebody knows anything about it and if it can handle a fair amount of power with stock internals.

weight is the only problem that I have with V6 in small car. I have a friend putting a V6 in his 99 integra to ice race with. I don't know if the extra 200 pounds is going to hurt him.

Overall weight on any car at the track is important lower the better. Weight placment is very important too.

PS I tested 600 pounds on the front end of my car. It was a waste of time, because our lap times went down.
