    the stock festiva engine is a mazda enigine, so the mazda 323's are good donor cars for an upgrade engine, or the escort GT for a 1.8 DOHC, they are all part of a "B" series engine and are mostly interchangable

    1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
    1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
    2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

    1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        Mazda engine is a little vague since there are several that will work with little effort. Go to the "Engine Swaps" section and you will find tons of info on Mazda engine swaps.

          Never ceases to amaze me how folks will NOT take the time to do a little research on their own. Or maybe just read some of the Stickies in the sub Forums.
          And yes someone will say Im being an unhelpful a.. by not giving the link. But when its as simple as reading the stickies. Why?

                So, for about the same price as a fully-loaded 1993 Ford Festiva, you could also wield the power to obliterate a small village in the blink of an eye.

                    All the workings are Mazda. Kia assembled the cars.

                        All festivas were assembled in Korea by Kia using mazda design and components.
