Re: engine/tranny swap advice

I am in process of assembling a 91 sprint, with a 3 cylinder and a 5 speed. I have a much nicer condition 93 metro that I could have used, but it had the auto tranny in it, and thus did not have the provisions on the front frame for the 5 speed mount.

The engine is from my 89 Ice Racer.
