Interesting idea. IIRC, the 1200, 510,610,710, and B210 were all RWD, so you'd just need to deal with motor mounts, shift linkage and driveshaft. The 1980 Mazda GLC/323 was about the end of RWD economy cars in the USA. If it weren't for all the LUV and P'up owners buying up the engines, a diesel Chevette would have made a decent, if low powered, donor for a Metro. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
