Actually, you don't need to make the cardboard template. Here's the deal, the widest part of the engine, will be either 13.5 inches center to center on the bolt holes, or 12.5 inches. All the fwd trannies are 12.5, where as, most of the rwd manual engines (and therefore trannies) where 13.5, however; (this is where it gets interesting,) the auto rwd's where 12.5! so, it is possible, if you can find the right flywheel, to mate the rwd auto tranny motor, to the fwd manual transmission.

These rwd dimensions are not hard and fast, but they where pretty much that way in the 80's, and I believe that they carried over to the early 90's.

So, break out the mesuring tape, and find out!

Tony
