Damkid: so am I too understand that if there is a 'non-OEM' engine in a southern Ontario car the e-test facility has to relax it's testing standards? If there isn't a B6 or BP in place in mine two years from now (my stock car passed at the end of June) I'll be on the lookout for a Mazda-badged B3 valve cover or something to that effect just to throw off the test facility hounds. By the way is a B6 valve cover compatible with a B3 head?
In any case, my congratulations, and admiration, for creating a street-legal V6 Festy.

[Damkid]

Thanks Bert.... From what i understand, if a vehicle has an engine in it that was never an available option, then it is considered a "hot rod" so yes a festiva with a B6 would fall under that category

great news Chris. See you in a month! can't wait to check out your car.

a SOHC B6 would probably still pass, its VERY hard to tell an 8 valve 1.6 from a B3.

And i can't wait to finally show it off at a meet :lol:

The B6 i once had, said 1.6 injection on the intake, other then that, yes i agree they are very very similar

^^ Was it a 2nd Gen with the air inlet on the driver's side? If you use a 1st Gen it looks exactly like a B3 other than the exhaust manifold

[Damkid]

^^I had a 1st gen B6

[Zanzer]

^^ Did it have the "over the valve cover" TB/intake setup?

[Damkid]

Yup it did, trust me, i can spot a 1st gen B6 pretty easy :lol: not to mention i pulled it from the donor (88' 323)
