      I know this is a crappy picture but the one on the left is a KL-DE and is free to me, but its not complete, and the one on the right is a KL-ZE for $500, so i'll be getting the DE home hopefully friday to use as a mock-up engine and when i'm ready i'll buy the ZE and get it running :evil4:

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

        So, for about the same price as a fully-loaded 1993 Ford Festiva, you could also wield the power to obliterate a small village in the blink of an eye.

              I still haven't tested it out yet since i don't have the right sized socket to take the axle nut off, but i will before i pay any money for the KL-ZE


              The engine's are in a transport trailer at work and are somewhat buried so i'll be needing the help getting the engine out of the trailer which a guy i work with is going to help me with that on friday and he's going to bring a trailer and bring it to my house since that'll be a lot easier for me :lol:

                I pulled my festiva into the garage today




                And started pulling the axle out




                And here's the axle



                And here it is in the probe tranny :evil4::evil4:


                This side the axle was a bit tight going in but that could be because the phantom grip not lettin the spider gear to be in the right position but either way the axle went in



                So next i'll be pulling the B6T out and starting my V6tiva project :evil4::evil4:

                  I was gonna say, the passenger side of the housing isn't meant to have a CV shaft in it, it won't go in right anyway, at least not a 323GT/capri XR2 trans anyway.

                  I can't wait to see the V6 sitting under the hood!

                    The side that was tight is the side that is supposed to have the CV shaft

                    Once the axle was in the tranny everything felt solid like the way it should be so i couldn't be happier with the way it turned out

                          Good job so far with the transmission!

                          Now I'm waiting to see how you're going to put that 6 in there. How much wider is it compared to the B6T?

                              you may have already thought of this but... why didnt you just swap the v6 bell housing on to the b6t trans?

                                becasue the bell housing is integrated into the tranny itself and can't be just swapped over, i wish it would have been that easy
