what started as replacing the clutch will now be a b6 swap. found a B6 from a 323 in the upull lot, so Ford Fester and i yanked it out on "harvest days". $40 later we had a motor. now just gotta find some time this weekend to do the presto chango. stay tuned for the next status update.

This is a great swap! Easiest to do, gives 1/3 more power and keeps most of the fuel mileage.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

It's great you have a nice shop to work in, how much snow are they forcasting in your area today. No snow here, just rain.An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.Comment
