Here's why:
* Different engine blocks and bell housings: The engine block itself, and more importantly, the bellhousing (the part that connects to the transmission) are completely different between the Daytona's sporty, transversely mounted engine and the Caravan's typically front-wheel-drive, longitudinally mounted powerplant. Even if the bolt patterns *looked* similar, the crucial alignment of the crankshaft and transmission input shaft would be incompatible.
* Different transmission types: The Daytona likely used a different type of transmission designed for its performance characteristics and higher torque output compared to the Caravan's transmission, which is likely geared for fuel efficiency and towing capacity.
You'd need extensive custom fabrication, including a new bellhousing, custom mounts, potentially a new driveshaft, and potentially even significant modifications to the chassis to even attempt this swap. The cost and complexity would far outweigh the benefits. It's simply not a practical swap.
