Potentially on the 2nd Gen, but on the first Gen Scion XBs, the platform is shared with the Toyota Echo and the Scion XA. These are 1.5l vehicles. This necessitates machining a transmount to use the corolla trans. More akin to the Tercels/Paseos than the corollas.

My plans are to stay stock looking on the outside and keep the engine stock. No need to attract any attention while its sitting in the airport parking lot.

I used the corolla transaxle since they are plentiful/cheap at a Pick-n-Pull, and stronger than the C150 series.
