              B6T going in for mockup.



              I've got some more fine tuning to do on the mounts but it's close! Used a manual pass side mount with spacers between the block and bracket, worked great! Only mount I'll have to mod is the front trans mount.





              really impressed with everything fred.. also what transmission did you end up going with for the B6T?

                I swear, Ford must have their heads in the sand when the B6 and the Festiva came along.

                      Wow! You sure are 'going to town' on this and I wish you all the best. From what I can see there is no need to call for 'good luck', yet.

                              Well... It's ALIVE After 8 years of being off the road it is back! Best feeling ever! It sat for 7 years with a blown headgasket in the previous owners garage, then a friend got it and I got it off him. Feel accomplished! ATX to MTX swap a sucess! And also going from the funky 89 auto vac advance EFI to the 90-93 style All easy stuff to finish now and I'll be driving it!
