    All the Aspire pulleys; OR you can use the 1993 Festy crank pulley to keep the rest of the pulleys Festy.

    Festy intake, exhaust and disty. And Festy thermostat housing.

    I think that's everything.

      The Festiva coolant piping will need to be retainied if you intend to hook up to the Festiva rad. The Aspire engine has a cast aluminum lower rad connector to the water pump. It is intended for use with a longer Aspire rad. The Aspire rad cannot be used used with stock Festiva A/C condenser hoses.

        I do have A/C... do I need the Aspire or Festiva Water Pump? Are they the same? I think I got a new Aspire Water pump....

          so as it is I can't use the Festiva pullys? also must use the Festiva distributor? will the aspire cap and roter work on the Festiva distributor? I bought a cap and roter for the aspire.... also will the aspire thermostat work in the Festiva housing?

            Water pumps the same. Thermostats the same. Pulley and disty questions answered. For cap and rotor, use Rock Auto to cross-ref parts numbers.

            Good catch on lower rad pipe, Brave. You need the Festy one, Yellow.

                did not fully understand the distributer.... do I take the one off the festiva or use the one for the aspire because I have a brand new cap and rotor for the aspire and not for the festiva and it loks to not be cross compatable as the parts have a different part number

                  Use the Festy distributor. Wiring is different for the Aspire one--you will notice there is no coil wire for the Aspire disty.
