Nice work with the swap. A day and a half is quick, by my standard. Did you replace the clutch plate? I chose not to, since I never yet have had problems. I was at about 205 thousand miles then, and I'm hoping to get 300,000 from this clutch. And yup, my CX trans turns about 2050 rpms at 60mph and that's about a 400 rpm improvement. All the gears are taller, as you're guessing, but I actually think it is not so good for mpg in stop-n-go situations, though great at cruising speeds in 4th and 5th at low load and low rpm.
