Default tranny question

How bad would if affect me if I bought a 95 LS longblock and use my Y8 sohc vtec tranny? Reason why, because I found one that is real close to my area, but he does not have a tranny. I wanted to buy a complete motor but had trouble finding one at the right price. I know, I will buy me another tranny down the line. But I want to know what yall think. Thanks in advance

BTW, it will be turbo with a DRAG 3 turbo kit bought from HXman, Good deal

well, me and my brother are doing it. I had sohc vtec Y8 with a greddy turbo kit on it and the piston ring gave up on me. So I decided to sell the turbo kit to buy a Drag turbo kit. Buy me a LS motor and go from there on. Yeah, I know it was probably a stupid question. But I have to find out some way since I am new to this stuff.

....and knowing is half the battle.

Just curious, when you piston ring went out, how much boost were you running on that thing, and for how long? (miles) I kinda like to get a sense of the limits, since Im planning my own turbo d16 project.

well, at that time. With all the info I gather from honda-tech. I was running the AFC HACK. boosting 10lbs and it lasted about 5 months. Reason why, prolly cuz I drove it hard often and didn't have it tune right. Gotta have the right shitz and get it dyno tuned.
