Engine Swaps Again

[Jjcousins@ra.rockwell.com]

Hello all.  I was just thinking about this one day - regarding all the talk
about engine swaps a couple of months ago.

Had anyone considered replacing the engine and tranny with some light pick-up
truck powerplants?  Seems to me, this is the most common rear-wheel drive config
these days.  I remember test-driving a 154 horsepower 4-cylinder Nissan PU truck
in 1991 or so that was extremely peppy.  Seems like there'd be lots of rusted
away trucks with good engines around, no?

Any thoughts?
