I know, Ive got one. I just figured it bolted up using the original holes. Didnt know it needed to be modded.

Ah ok gotcha :lol:

Hi guys, not new to this thread but always surfing it all the time checking which was the best way to mount that G25MR tranny to a BP engine as well as the intermediate shaft and thanks to Max I have a lot more detailed idea to do this..... Happy Holidays to everyone!!!! God Bless!!!

[Maxtiva]

I thought it was very difficult to do the swap but once you have every piece in hand you will understand because you will be able to figure out how the parts assembled together. At first I do not think I can do it but I found it much easier than I imagined. If someone have any question or want me to take some other pic's just ask it. It is easier for me to take pic when the engine is out.

And I forget I've found an aspire rear axle with good ebrake cable on it for just 20$
and I just bought new drum, shoes, spring kit, wheel cylinder and rear rubber brake hoses for it.

[freshtiva]

Me too !! Did you get any front rubber brake hoses too ? The festiva hoses arent right for the aspire swap.

[Maxtiva]

Yes I allready got them with the front brake part. I'm going to put all new brake line to the 4 corner. After my rebuilt my car is going to be almost new the only part that is not new yet is my gas tank. Does someone in Canada know were I can get a new one for cheap. I know where to get one for cheap from the US but I'm sure that the custom dutys are not that cheap. If I can't find one here I might buy one from the US.

Is it a BP in the background of your pic ? So a second swap in not so long ?

[freshtiva]

No, thats a couple of extra 1.3s in the background. My BP is still in the EGT. Second swap next year. Im taking notes from this thread cause I know you will do it right. 8^)

Thanks I'm doing my best. Your EGT look really clean how many miles on it ? Do you have any other pic rom your EGT ?

[freshtiva]

I know the gas tank in my green car is not that old, i bought it new 3 or 4 years ago if your interested i'll get some pics of it

[Maxtiva]

I'm sure that it is in way better shape than the one on my car. Is it remove from the car ? PM me some detail on it I might take it when I go to your place to take the hood.

Hey Max, would you consider making a second set of trans mounts??

[Maxtiva]

I don't know for what trans the front mount is make for I just got it when I purchase my EGT 2 years ago the guy gave me 4 box full of misc parts. I'm sure that it is no for an EGT cause there was 2 hole that I need to redrill

[25Horseplay]

OK, thought I'd ask because they look nice!

[Maxtiva]

My friend Karl (fordfestivaa) made them for me. I will ask him if he want to make some more for the Owner of ff.com and I get back to you
