How much can the stock KA24DE transmission handle, and can I fit it to an SR20?

I'm planning on doing an SR20DET swap myself, and I had a few questions.

Most prominent is weather or not I can use the stock KA24DE 5-speed manual on an SR20DET. I don't want to buy an SR20 and end up having to shell out another thousand dollars for a transmission because of my stupidity.

Second, if it does work, how much power can I put through it? I'm looking for a 350-400rwhp build. I'm planning on building the internals to handle around 600hp so I don't have to worry when I push the engine, but I don't want to shred the clutch or gears to bits.

I appreciate anyone who can help. Thanks.

It'll only work if you swap the SR bell housing to the KA transmission. Ka b/h will notbolt up to the SR block. The KA [imho] can handle the 350-400, not too sure about 600hp.
