im dreaming of bilding a kick aZZ geo metro and wanted to see if any one thinks it can ( or should ) be done i want to make the ever joked about mid engine geo my thout is that a caddy trans with a 305 should do the trick the drive shafts will be tricky but i do think it cant be done hell for a wile at least it will still have the 1l in the frunt lol makeing the only 11cilender geo i ever heard of anyway i need to know what 15" rims fit a 91 geo and what size tires anyway i hope not all of you are lol @ me but if i can pull this off ill be passing anything out there ;P give me a shout on your thouts thanks

Mid engine in a metro isn't too far fetched. There's a guy in teamswift who's building a dual engine swift GT. One in the front, one in the back. I don't think the frame is strong enough to handle the weight and torque of a V-8. Plus it would handle like crap with all that offset weight from the tranny and engine. If you're gonna get rims, they have to be a 114.3X4 bolt pattern. Any tread wider than 195 will rub on the fender and inner wheel well when turning, unless you roll in the inner lip in the fenders.

thax for not thinking im totely nuts im thinking a tube frame too help with the xtra tork but the handeling i have yet to figyre out maybe hevyer springs in the back too start with if i finish this i do want it to handel well thax again for the rim spec im looking for them as i typ lol one last thing i mite go with a semi moded v6 less whate and quite alot of hp !!!!! >;P

Look for an older Chevy 3.1 turbo V-6. The old cavaliers they were in have about the same shock tower and axle measurements as a metro, as well as the same size engine bay. It might bolt in with minor mods. Or just a N/A 3.1L v-6.

I have a geo metro convertable with a 74 401 pontiac and a 74 police interceptor tranny with oversized stall converter it might handle like s*&T
but it messes with peoples heads in the quarter mile

If you have nothing to add to the conversation that is of merit, keep your comments to yourself.

It don't matter what car you have.I belive can tweak anything.Remember the (Mini Cooper)Metros can be the same.You can get an engine from a Mini Cooper S.And it easly fits or consider geting an engine from a 1995 VW Golf.I hop this helps you.Metro are the same as a Mini Cooper. I not trying to bore you all,the man who made the
Mini worked hard to get his car noticed.The mini cooper is one of the best smallest cars around and can out run a civic and integra.Civics and integras didn't get the award for the best car all around.
