Is it just gradual accretion of knowledge through experience? How would I learn how adaptable a given engine is with a transmission? A given engine/trans combo in an engine bay? I do not want to distract the thread. I'm just really impressed with your fluency with these swap possibilities. THANKS!!
Service manuals, parts books, wandering around junkyards and looking.
