I've got stuff sitting around already that could be arranged into.. uh... interesting combos.

Escort diesel drivetrain into Tempo (easiest- practically a bolt-in worth 45+ mpg). Or make a fwd '68 Chev C10 worth what- 35-45 mpg?

'89 Park Avenue with one of the all-time greatest engines, the 3800 V6... stretch the pan and put the entire chassis under my spare '59 Biscayne body; the floor on that is gone anyway. A 30 mpg full-sized fwd daily driver classic with more snort and handling than the original... I like that idea.

Metro 1.0 5speed m/t into Fiero. Take some weight out, convert to m/t, and chop the top too. Would it fit in front? If so, then the car would have an enormous and useful trunk. Nice small frontal area and sporty good looks the Metro simply doesn't have. (sorry)
