Adapting the output drive is the biggest logistical problem. You could make it chain drive though and drive a chainring on the diff housing.. You could also make a spline drive adapter to couple where the output sprocket goes. Not too big of a deal, just takes some inginuity. Metros with motorcycle engines have been done before though..

A common swap for the metro is the DOHC 1.3 from a Suzuki Swift GTi. A better build would be the 1.6 block with the 1.3 dual cam head. You can also source a turbo 3 cylinder from a firefly, IIRC.

Check out teamswift.net or redlinegt for info on these cars.
