Do the 5 speed swap first. I don't think the KA auto transmission can handle that much torque... but i could be wrong.

Just add an external transmission cooler and run good fluid in there. You should be fine for a while. It's been done.

Just for reference. the sr20 came with an auto. they used the same transmission as the ka but with a different bell housing and a higher stall torque converter.
