Sounds like there is no real winner. It all depends on whether you want to detatch the trans or whether you want to pull/swap the head.

I'm all for a head swap. I don't feel like unhooking that trans again until I can rev it up with the clutch engaged...lol
I know this is an off topic question, but does gas mileage suffer much from this? Or is that mostly in the gearing?
In all honesty I think it'd be better since its more efficient as long as you can stay out of it...but...I just got 37mpg highway the other day on a 2.5hr trip to an Import Alliance meet. Be awesome if that would still be possible...haaha.
But the stock e-car rear end (2.88, 2.93, 2.hardly able to turn the tires over) will stay in there for a little while. Not too concerned about it for the moment.

It's not that big of a drop after going m50 injectors chip and 3.73 rear my mileage so far has only dipped 2mpg and I'm an auto so it suffers on acceleration even with the diff swap but if I manually shift its not a huge difference in speed against a modified I with a stick
But I'm also on it most of the time cuz I'm still tryin to fine tune the car

the car would feel better if it was a stick but there really wasnt any problems just make sure u got no vacuum leaks anywhere and make sure u got the harness with a c104 connector cuz then its practically plug and play.
with my old 2.79 if i stayed in 2nd gear id hit the speed limiter for for the I harness which is 125.... IN 2nd gear! thats how ridiculously tall my 2nd gear mixed with the old 2.79 diff was and id barely hit 6k at that speed.
but it did feel like it had alot more room to go im just avoiding pushing the trans that hard consistantly
