Depends on the trans. When I installed my 502, I swapped out my m20 for a completely rebuilt M22 (all brand new internals, and a steel mid plate). Now I dont worry about it. It cost a few bucks, but was a direct bolt in and sounds real cool when you drive with that M22 gear whine
If you want to get the same trans then PM me and I will give you the info of the guy who builds them.

Here is a 4 speed that will handle that motor with slicks.
