Hope this helps!

Thank you for all this information, I have a question though. I have the stock 4-speed automatic, will it be necessary for me to replace this with the r154? This is actually my biggest concern. The engine im buying has the intercooler with it.

Also, the cc is the same for both engines, but will the 7GMTE require different mounts? Or will it essentially drop right in the old space. Also, would it be to my advantage to look into a better radiator? It is original stock as well.
