You are gonna have your hands full, and you might want to have somebody to mix coffee and food and then throw it at you as you run by

But sure it can be done
800 rpm lower than stock ?? I would really like to hear how low that is, I´m past 2000rpm in 3rd and it don´t really get a grip before overdrive kicks in, let me know how it works.

yeah, i think i will take my time and do the converter first as they need the core back soon. Its a Goerend 900/400.
I just remembered I havent done the KDP yet either.
