Ya i'd have to say when doing a BP swap, starting with an EFI car is much much easier!

Congrats that you got it fired up!! :thumbright:

well i got some rad house so the car should be able to drive tonight on to the driveway. Also it will be time to look for bugs and small things that could be changed. Ill post pics and a vid or to later.

If your using the stock rad, then transfer the B3 T-stat housing onto the BP and you'd be able to use the B3 upper rad hose, just an idea for you

an idea to late lol. I did get the car running after a few mods to the coolant lines all thats left is to get the intake set in place and let the car warm right up and see if i get a leak or somthing. Then the paln is to permit the car and drop it off at exhaust shop to get pipe welded on.

it has been done and can be done it would be alot more work.

[1993 festiva]

i wonder y? cause the engine is bigger and needs more space?

Because of wiring, axles etc. The festiva is a mazda. it has mazda wiring. The B6T is mazda.

well the T-stat housing on my BP was already installed and with it i was able to use the B3 upper rad hose and it worked perfect, my BP was also previously installed in a festiva before i got it which is why i assume its the B3 T-stat housing

[neanderpaul]

Yep I used the B3 tstat housing on my festiva's BP also.

@$%#..... well that would have made life easyer.

[gorgonheimer]

if i remember i couldnt use the b3 t-sat housing cause it hit the disty. but i dont remember that well. i didn't use the stock rad either.

well the intake is on and the car runs better now with all the vac leaks takencare of. All thats left is exhaust and i sware i will have pics soon.
