Need Info

[David G]

Hi there guys! I'm new here.

I have a Ford Aspire 1994. I want to make it a project car but I need a good engine and a manual transmission too. The thing is that I have no idea which kind of engines and transmissions can be used with this kind of car. I have been at Pick n' Pull and they told me it has to be the same kind ( a Ford Aspire engine & transmission only ) I'm not sure about it. So, I would like to know if anyone here knows what kind of engine and/or transmission I could use my car other than those coming from another Ford Aspire.

So, if anyone knows please help me!

Thank you,
David G.

Welcome David G. Are you from Calgary and drive an Aspire SE? You'll find lots of useful info here. Check out the engine swap forums here http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=19 for some great ideas.

I have a 92 Festiva which you may have already seen. I installed a engine from an 88 Mazda 323 in my car keeping the stock transmission.

Enjoy the site!

You could also go big and put a BP in it - check the engine forums for advice

Welcome, and going stock for stock the j/y guy was right. Now with the right tools, know how, and determination, you can put pretty much anything you want in there. :mrgreen:
