hello guys, im new here
ive been reading and also doing searchs but i havent found the information i need.
there should be a sticky somewhere on the site about the engine range for festivas. i need to know the common engines to used in swaps. i know they came with b3 but is there a fuel inj version, and any performance to them. what are the other engines like the b6, b6t, bp and bpt and what cars and models do they come from.
sorry but the searchs didnt bring much information

Welcome to the site. The 88 89 models were carbed. The 89 with atx was efi. All 90-93's came with efi. Festiva motorsport sells a cam for the b3 and there are other mods. The b6 is sohc like the b3 and is a direct bolt in. It came in the tracer and the 323. All the rest require custom fabbing or aftermarket parts. The b6t came in the 323 gt and gtx (awd) and the capri not all capris are t. The escort gt and tracer lts have the bp. I don't know what other mazdas have the bp. All of these engines are mazdas. Feel free to correct me anybody.

Since the thread's still here: BP is the swap of choice, requires relatively minor mods, and you've got 127hp. If you go with the B8, then you've got around 100hp, with even less modification.
