  • Anyone in WA selling a engine?

    Sorry ahead of time if i posted this in the wrong area!

    My 88 Festy is starting to die down a little, the rings are gone and it feels like i am spending more in oil than i am in fuel lol. I want to do a B8 or B6 swap in my car, but i cant find any donors on craigslist or at any local JY's... Any help would be great guys. Price is a huge factor, as I am only 18 working part time. Love this car! Have a dodge ram but i never drive it cuz i love this car so much! I figure instead of wasting the money to rebuild this motor, that i should just throw in a motor with some real power

          You sure it's rings?

          Every one that I have had that used oil was nothing more than valve guide seals that were bad.

              Hodrodin4me: I might take you up on that, but I would REALLY like to throw in a b6 or b8

              econoaddict: I am jsut suspecting it is rings, because it only happens when I get on the gas and when its cold warming up. If its cold and I leave it running on the choke, it literally seems like it has burnt over a quart of oil.

              1988festivazoom: If i ever make it that way while I am racing my dirtbike, I will definitely go down and grab a B6, I'm set on that or a B8 so thanks for telling me that!

                    Sorry to jump in on this one. In all honesty, find a rotted out or wrecked 323 that still runs. From it you can get everything you need:

                    Engine
                    Transmission
                    Clutch/Flywheel/Etc
                    Shifter Ends and Points
                    Seats potentially with some work
                    ECU
                    Wire Harness Specifics (not the whole thing is needed)
                    Axles
                    Front Suspension
                    Wheels and Tires (Potentially with a swap)

                    I guarantee you could get your money's worth from a sub-500 dollar 323 with a rear collision and have a completed swap with all the trim and fixings.

                      Oh no worries man, you live in Canada, take him up on that if he lets you. Im gonna do what i can to find a 323, cant find ANY in WA though, bummer. I've got big plans for my festy aka White Thunder. lol

                        How about this one guys?? Really cheap and doesnt seem like that bad of a car. How hard will it be to swap this into my 88 Festiva??

                            Yes sir that was me. haha I got shafted on those tires on the way back home, I didnt read the signs for the tacoma-narrows bridge and got a ticket in the mail for $52 lol. Is it a pretty nice b8 there?
