Well, the engine was north-south, but it was a FWD car. I owned one for
a short while in the early 90's.

The original VW Fox (late 80s) used a RWD configuration with the water 
cooled four banger, so the transmission from one should bolt up to a VW 
diesel too. Might as well turbo that puppy while your at it - free
energy 
and no detonation worries with a diesel :-).
