  • What engine swaps have you done

    Thought it'd be cool to see who has done what engine swaps

    I personally have done

    Carb B3 into an EFI festiva
    An early B6/stock trans - My old green 93 L
    BP/F series swap - My old green 93 L
    B6T/G trans swap - My current 90LX
    KLZE/G trans swap - ^^Ditto
    KJ/G trans swap - Protege 5


    What all have you guys done

    1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
    1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
    2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

    1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        I assuming this is not for just replacing motors, cause I have done plenty of those, but for those other swaps:

        KLDE - 1992 MX-3 GS
        BP/G series swap - 90 festiva L-plus (currently in process)

          351 Modified swap into my SBF 79 F150 Pickup (was a 302 but it was blown up)
          318 swap into a slant 6 D150 Pickup with a 4 speed (bad rod knock, then blew a hole in the /6 block)
          B8-ME with an F-series swap into my first 95 aspire
          BP swap in a 94 Aspire
          V6 swap in and running but not driving (axles and rad install left when it got flooded out) in same 94 Aspire
          BP and JDM BG GTX trans swap into my 90 4wd protege
          Currently working on an AWD swap into an 89 Festiva L. Engine is still a toss up between a BP+T or a B5 bottom end with a B6 head (easier to find around here)

              I did not do the following swaps on my own, but I either owned/drove all of the following and my father did the swaps.......still makes for some interesting ideas.

              2.3L Pinto/ATX into a '74 Mazda RX4 (good DD)
              2.2L 6cyl gas Mercedes into '69 Ranchero (zero power)
              6cyl Ford diesel from 6000 Ford tractor into a '60 Ford F250 4X4 (even less power)
              429CJ/C6 into same '60 Ford truck (plenty of power)
              OM352 Mercedes 6cyl turbo diesel into '79 Ford F250 4X4 (adaquate power)
              351W/AOD into '74 Mazda pickup (plenty of power)
              Mercedes 5cyl turbo diesel (from 300TD)/5speed into '81 Courier (not bad DD)
              289/C4 into '71 Pinto (plenty of power)

                  My first swap was a 1994 B6 into my '93GL ATX in early 2006.

                  My second was another 1994 B6 into my '91L MTX last year, documented here:

                  Members Builds (questions about repair or how to do something belong in the proper forum)


                  Both were accompanied by suspension/brake swaps.

                  Looking to do a B8/stock MTX swap next.

                        351w/C6 in place of a 300I/4spd in an '81swb. Fabbed the exhaust and swapped a column and fabbed the linkage for that too.
