How many engine and/or tranny swaps have you done?
How many swaps have you done in your life time, either on other Hyundai's or or totally different cars? It can be either with a whole different engine/tranny, or replaced it with an OEM one?

Roughly 9 or so Hyundai transmissions, 4 engines

2 caprice 700r4 transmissions
Ghetto rigged a 307 and th350 into my 58 Chevy truck
Swapped a 454 for a 350 (f*ck you 3.50 a gallon)

I immediately thought of faith when I saw this post, but I didn't realize it was that many! 
All I've done is swap an A/T to a M/T on my '00 Tib

its not all the same car lol
ive done 5 or 6 transmissions on the turbo car (lost count, i think its 6 now with the current one)
rebuilt the motor on the turbo car
did a motor on the failwgn after intentionally blowing it up on nitrous
transmission on my old rd1
rest was friends/brothers sh*t (hyundai wise anyways)
i also forgot the motors i did for my old roommates cars
1 ford festiva engine (lol we didnt even have a hoist to pull this out, we got a long f*cking piece of pipe and pulled it out between the 2 of us, little known fact, those cars were actually made by kia)
1. mazda protege engine
1. toyota corolla transmission (cant remember year) after the dumb ass hit a rock in carlsbad and DROVE TO ABQ (300ish miles)KNOWING IT HAD A HOLE IN THE PAN
he attached a tin foil baking dish under the transmission and added 3 qts and figured it was ok to drive
not sure if this is concidered a "swap" although it was the same amount of work, but i did put a clutch in the maxima and believe me, youd LOVE how easy it is to do a hyundai trans if you ever did one of those

As I said before ,I'm by no means a mechanic!, just a maintenance guy who loves to tinker with stuff.
