Also my dad wouldn't go for it cause he wouldn't like my car to be faster than his 8v 951.

Yeah, the car is an 86 2.5l n/a. It has the "turbo look" front end, and has been equiped with all turbo brakes and rotors, a full coil-over suspension with torsion bar delete and 968 M030 sway bars.
I'm going to use the old 86 trans, i know the internals aren't as strong but i'm hoping the shorter gears will give me better acceleration.

Sell that trans now while it is still good for around $300-$400, and then put that money toward an S2 trans.
I can guarandamntee you that 86 944 trans will turn into metal granola in rapid fashion. It's not a matter of "if" it blows, but "how soon". Sell it while you can still get something more for it than scrap metal value.
