This is getting me interested in what swaps are "eazy".   "Eazy" meaning
that there are some off the shelf adapters.  The most common one that I know
of is the VW watercooled engine to Samuari tranny.  Less common are VW
watercooled engine to Tracker/Sidekick or Toyota pickup tranny.  You could
then put the VW diesel into any small RWD vehicle like a Miata, MG etc.

Does anybody know of any other off the shelf tranny adapters?  How about VW
watercooled engine to VW aircooled transaxle?

Does the Suzuki Swift/ Geo Metro transaxle have the same bellhousing as the
Samuari since they both had 1.3L 4 cyl Suzuki engines?
