I wouldn't disconsider some 800cc 2cyl Diesel if it was easier to overcome the transmission issue. Yesterday I saw a Hyundai Atos in my hometown and started to lurk about a setup similar to those rear-engined autorickshaws from India. There are even some with Kubota single-cylinder 9hp engines (altough I'd rather get a twin-cylinder if I were messing with an Atos)...

Of course it wouldn't be a problem if Hyundai had a same bell pattern diesel, but they don't, and I don't see an adapter being able to fit either.

Hyundai even had some factory-fitted Diesel versions of the Atos, with a 1.1L CRDi 3-banger, but it was only available with manual transmission
