There are a few transplants over here - mainly petrol and in the search of "Go" though instead of FE - e.g. 1.6 16V into a Citroen AX, or an MGF 1.8 VVC into a (Rover) Metro - enough to frighten BMWs anyway.

Diesel or FE related transplants are less common - less justification for the cost I suppose.
