Okay I've been playing with the idea of swapping the 4-53 I have into my old chevy. But on the flip side both trucks are running good and if it ain't broke don't fix it, you know? So talking today my buddy mentioned he's got a 95 ranger that quit running. It's the 2.3 with a 5spd, light bulb goes on and a quick look at Craigslist I find a guy selling a 1.6 VW Diesel for $150. So I'm going to go this weekend and pick it up. What I'm not sure on is how do you make up an adapter plate for the trans? I know it'll be a turtle lol but I'm not worried about it, I'll be driving it on surface streets anyway. I plan on documenting this entire process, hopefully I can get it done before Christmas.
