How about one (with pics) of the opposite:

That's one that I did not see, but it's a D17 tranny (shorter gearing) on the D16 engine. That's not the most desirable swap, from the EM perspective. So, clearly it does bolt up, but the purpose of this thread is to help people identify swaps for EM purposes, so although this one bolts up the shifter differences and the electronics make adapting one of the taller-geared transmissions, such as the 92-95 VX/CX to a newer D17 engine relatively complex.
Thanks for the input. I adapted the OP.
Oh! I have seen that press release already. It is part of what I cited in sources. But I was hoping you might be able to get the VSS info and/or speedo gear info from the FSM you mentioned.
