My B3 had close to 300,000 when I did the B6 swap.

Hi guy this is my first post on this site!

My Festiva currently has 788000km on it or approx 489640miles i was told it was the orignal engine and gearbox(auto). I am the second owner, i bought it last week! It has a few leaks, and i cant find a haynes manual or repair manual, does anyone know where i can get one online(free)

That's 3 I've heard of in that mileage range on the original engine/transmission/clutch.
475k, 465k, and now 460k. PUSH IT TO 500K!!!

I should be turning 460,000 sometime next week

yes although clutch is starting to get fairly loose, and the bushings in the shifter linkages are gone, all the gears are still smooth in the tranny. The motor is also a tad noisy, hopefully I can get her up to 500 even before I need to put lifters in it, I figure around the same time if im done with my other one, Ill redo the body as well

459xxx all original, getting a tad rusty though!

That's pretty impressive! Original tranny? clutch?

why do people keep swapping to a b6 from a well working b3 engine? is there a thread explaining a plethora of advantages or is this just to have a couple more hp?

Because passing on the Highway with a B3 makes me sad.
