4A-GE/GZE Transmission Question, Regarding shift linkage cables Options

[Coomer]

Hi,
I'm considering doing an AE101 20 valve 4A-GE or an AE101 4A-GZE this summer if I can get the funds together, and if I do a swap at all I'm definitely going to swap transmissions, because I think my synchros are going bad on my tranny. I was wondering, if I swap a new transmission into my car, will I need to change shift linkage cables, or anything like that, or will the new transmission bolt right up to the existing shift linkage cables?

My friend and I are trying to get an idea of exactly how much work a a-series engine swap would be and what exactly we'd need to do. I've got my parents convinced to let me do the 20 valve 4A-GE...I'm hoping I can get them to let me do the 4A-GZE.

Friend coomer, you have talked to the right people! I convinced my parents to get me a Corvette for my 16th birthday! Ok, here is what you do.

Arguments:
1. Tell them the supercharger just makes the engine more efficient, which makes it more powerful, but also gives better gas mileage.
2. "If I have some power I wont have as much trouble getting onto the interstate.
3. "I figure I will end up getting the GZE at some point. It's just a better engine. Why not let me get it now?"
Finally, Tell them that the silver top has 20 valves and four Throttle bodies, thus having more that can go wrong. (Warning: this could cause you to not be able to get either engine if they don't go for the gze.)

And, you could always use the girls way out. "if you really care about me, you should respect my feelings." LOL

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Just bug em till you get it. Worked for me!
