[Spridgets] V4 question

[Rick Bastedo]

It would be pretty cool to see how someone might adapt one of these power
plants to our cars.
I wonder what you might use for a transmission?

This was apparently the power plant from the Ford Taunus (yes that's with an
"N"), here's a picture:

Looking at cars available on Craigslist, sometimes a better bet for parts if
they are running:

1957 Ford Taunus 17m coupe - $450 (okc)
