I would suggest that if your going to be doing a motor source out a late model 323 1.6L direct bolt in just have to swap over the injector harness and swap out ecu's and your on your way with 20+ more hp.

Ill look into that for a future swap but at this point my main concern is getting her street legal in CA since its been non op for almost 9 years.

Anyways, finally got the motor out tonight. everything went pretty smooth except pulling the axles was a PITA! I didn't have much room to work and yanked them out by hand


Here's some pics of the progress, hope you enjoy them as much as I did

All the wires unplugged, axles pulled... but I forgot the dam shift linkage







The starter was missing and it looks as if someone made my fester a home for a while



Heres teh 2 engines that I will build from, as well as my tranny
