Default Swap ideas!

Hello all!

New to the site. Have been reading alot trying to get knowledgeable about a few things but have some questions. I am wanting to do a honda engine swap in my Smart fortwo. I know it sounds ridiculous but i actually really like them. The engine however..... yea not so much. So wanting some ideas on what would be a good setup to swap into it. Also due to injuries im going to have to use a auto tranny. I know that throws a kink in the works. Thanks in advance for the help guys and i look forward to throwing around ideas with you all.

Mike

Should be interesting for sure. Trying to decide on B series or K series. Heck possibly even a d16z6 turbo set up. Im guessing that it will all boil down to which one has the best auto tranny for it.

I think the hayabusa swap would be the neatest.
