    VERY quick question about engine blocks

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So, i've found an AWM engine block locally that I was thinking about picking up and storing away until I'm ready to do a 2.0 engine build within the next year or so.....BUT, the block if for an automatic transmission.....other than the crank, is there any big difference between the two? or will a manual transmission (provided that I swap in the appropriate crankshaft) bolt right up to it? Both the seller and I are unsure......Any out there know?

    If you are going 2.0 youll have to swap the crank anyways, other than that an AMW is an AWM no matter the drivetrain difference
