You must not be married, or your wife is VERY understanding.

Not married lol live with 2 other guys so they don't mind! But when my gf lived here I built a 390 bb in there too but its kinda shetchy rolling a big block accrosed a slate floor!

I just finished rebuilding a transfercae for my jeep in my living room. I washed the parts in my kitchen sink. I would live in my garage if I had heat/air and plumbing for a bathroom.

I know the feeling! Barke cleaner dosent smell too good in the entire house.... found that out the hard way!

Lol I got yelled at for keeping my cylinder heads for my mustang in the spare room id hate to see what would happen to me if I had engine parts in the kitchen lol

[1988festivazoom]

Castration would be my guess lol I would expect no less haha

I was looking into the haltech e6x stand alone computer system..... would it be worth doing instead of the harness swap and ecu and all that? I found one on ebay for 500$

Also I'm gunna use a f series tranny from a 89ish 323 will it handle a b6t ?

Should be okay with a strong clutch and a solid set of mounts. Also please click on the "F5MR Discussion Thread" - link's in my sig. You'll see why you should instead place your interest in a Protege transmission or differential rather than a tractionless 323 one.

Solid front mount and puck clutch but power wise will it handle 200hp? I got the tranny for free and have 2 of them so I'm figured I will just use it till it blows lol

Installing and trying to tune will be 100x harder than swapping harnesses, and much more expensive

That's what I figured..... worth asking tho. I was reading on a mazda forum and there where some guys talking pretty highly of that system.
