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!!
I'd say an accretion of knowledge over time. I do custom Toyota engine swap wiring as my side occupation. I've been doing it for hire for almost 10 years now.
