Ive got a 89 festiva with just the stock manual 5spped in it. I've found a 1.6L motor out of a 323..unsure if its SOHC or DOHC, i havent yet taken a look at it.. but i was wondering if the SOHC 1.6L will bolt up to the stock tranny? Or if the DOHC 1.6L does or not?

89 festiva. No motor. Ready for B6 or B8-ME -
Yes, all B Series motors will bolt to a stock transmission. You have to use the clutch , flywheel, and starter for the transmission. I.E. stock transmission would need the stock flywheel, clutch, and starter.Jerry

You are correct. Depending on the motor, you may have to change some of the wiring or ECU. The early B6 is the easiest from what I've been told.Jerry

It would be a good idea to get a new clutch, and get an Exedy clutch. If you keep the old clutch, the extra B6 power may make it slip. A new Exedy clutch will hold better/

Your Intake manifold will bolt right up to a 1989 B6, which is pretty handy. It's difficult to make an '89 Festy fuel injected unless you really know what you are doing. If your car was already fuel injected, you would want to get the ECU from the 323 as well. Good choice for a first swap. It is almost an exact image of the B3, except with more displacement. I love mine!Last edited by zoe60; 01-07-2014, 10:48 PM.Comment

Just use the Festy wiring. All you need for a B6 swap is the engine and Festy intake manifold as Zoe saidDan

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

I've done this swap I used the b6 intake and carb with b3 air filter housing then used the b3 exhaust
Alternator engine mount and loom.
It's really easy except the vacuum linesComment
