If you wanna make some more money but still have fun, tend bar a couple nights a week.

As for what transmission to use with a B20, and B-series transmission will bolt up and your choice is mainly dictated by what car you're going to be putting it in to and what sort of gearing you're trying to get.

What I feel is the obvious choice is to save for one of the major mods. At an online store, eBay, or a bargain-basement discount parts liquidator, you could pick up c.a. intake, exhaust system setup, headers, perfomance catalytic, for just a couple g's. Or you could get a small 'wetset' NOS unit. That would be the last mod of course because it's well, NOS.
