Assorted stuff you may need to complete the conversion - adapter plates, different length shafts

No need for adapter plates! I'd either be doing the GM diesel swap or an entire Mercedes OM617 swap with engine and tranny together.

You might be better off converting the less desirable cars from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Quite a few hipsters/scensters want to be different and driving something that matches their fedoras, cardigans, and 35mm cameras would fit the bill. They are only interested in image anyway, so they probably wouldn't even be bothered with what's under the hood. Then again, if they could brag to their friends about a 40 mpg "classic," that would be even more of an incentive.

This is EXACTLY the market that I'm referring to!
