Quoting DR1665:
Will the Evo gearbox bolt up? No. Is it possible? Yes. But I guess we've beaten that horse.
EXHIBIT B: former US servicemember DSM left behind in Germany
One minor addendum to your post. The US-spec 1g vehicles sold in Europe were Chrysler badge (Eagle or Plymouth) only, and were sold through Chrysler dealers there, with the intended purchasers being US military. "Left behind" is generally an accurate description, as they were able to leave them there or bring them back to the US easily if the owner desired.
