Is the 4 cyl t5 a world class, meaning having the better blocking rings, also will it bolt directly behind my 8 cyl t5 bellhousing and KC clutch?
i understand its gonna be a gamble if it will last or not, i just need something that doesnt grind becuase i rebuilt my t5 and it still isnt 100% ( i think its becuase we had it together and apart about 8 times before we finally got it exact and the synchro coating got chunked off)

no the world class is the high dollar t5. the four banger is the same as the v8 except for lower first second and third gears and a smaller imput shaft. You will need a special pilot bearing for the four banger tranny but you can get it at advanced auto parts for like 5 bucks. the four banger will take less abuse due to the extra torque from the lower 1, 2, and 3 gears. Its life is directly linked to your right foot, but from what i understand that is the case for all of the t5's.

Yea I have heard of people launching with slicks on 4 cyl t5s and not hurting them at all. So it all depends on if u power shift or not.
