      I did a timing belt on my KL in 2-1/2 hours lol

      Everyone who ever seen it in person agreed how much room there was considering the size of the engine

      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?

        Fast cars should feel slow.
        Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

            I see your car at madness 5 and couldn't believe how much room it had . I've really been wanting to do a klze swap. I've been shopping for a low mileage b6d or b6ze to swap out my worn out b6d and can't find one local but there is kl's in the jy every where here.
            It would be worth the work just for the sound.

              If it wasn't so tough to do that transmission mod thing, I would consider it also.

                Don't you just need a 4cyl g series transmission diff?
                And trans mounts of course.

                  I agree, my BP is already starting to feel a little slow. Then again, I think something may be wrong with it, as I've never got the clutch to slip on a stock e-series. AND I got beat at a stoplight the otherday by a late model Impala. Had twin exhausts so I am thinking it was a 300HP+ model, didn't catch if it was an SS but those V6s can put down allot of power.

                  Now granted, I had nearly 300 extra pounds in the car, my VICS wasn't functioning, and the IAC was playing up, and I didn't give it the full beans off the line (As I was only intending to get ahead of him since I had to merge), but the douche wouldn't let me do that so it ended up being a short drag race, he edged ahead at first but I was catching up, but not in time to where I had to back off and let him ahead or else it would have been a wreck, or me going off the road. Needless to say I still felt salty after that.

                      Back driving the truck my average speed was 30-40, 50 was quick and I never did over 70 now I'm doing 70 on accident just cruising 😂
