I dont care how great you are at ginsu engineering.

Ahhh but you've never seen the ogre wielding a ginsu! Give this hillbilly a ginsu and I'll make it fit! Now function...... thats another matter entirely. Sorry ... you said ginsu lol its one of my favorite tools

[festymick]

I believe BMW has a 2.5 v6 also. Either way it aint bolting to a Mazda trans, I dont care how great you are at ginsu engineering.

Unlikely...yes, impossible...no. Anything is possible! My father built a custom bellhousing and clutch set-up to adapt a Mazda 5 speed to a Mercedes 300TD 5 cyl. (turbodiesel). My old Ford 4X4 has an OM352 Mercedes 6 cyl. diesel out of a Unimog that is mated to the factory Ford 4sp truck transmission via a custom bellhousing, also made by my father. Amazing what can be done with a good lathe, mill and an experienced machinist!

Exactly!!! Just go ask ol' "Speedy" Bill Smith at Speedway about the kits he carries to adapt Olds and Chevy trans' to Ford engines!

Once again I think the car is sharp - the visor could use some reworking - not my personal taste but its your ride. One the point of the motor I would love to see what you've enginered under the hood - I'm sceptical but I've seen things like the others have discribed before. I would also like to see the interior - I'm sure you've done something inside if you've put the effort into the exterior. Seeing the car from the side - I've decided I like the primer yellow matched up aginst the blue

PS talk is cheep but a picture is worth 1,000 words

You can get kits to adapt a Powerglide to anything. My favorite is the adapters for modern transmissions to Flatheads and vice-versa! Also the kits to adapt an AOD to FE blocks.

i would take off the front visor and maybe paint it well matching colors or something not really into the yellow and the blue but it looks nice and well for the engine i'm not so sure it's a BMW engine well maybe if it's in the back but well you never know there are so many festivas with different swaps.. v8, b6, b8, bp vtec i think and the 1340 Vtwin i mean well anything is possible if it doesn't fit up front there's plenty of room in the back.. yeah you get what i'm saying...

I could make a rather lude comment about this, but it's just too easy. I'll let it pass....:p

Well, I don't believe you have a BMW engine in the car, but the car IS nice. The BMW theme is even growing on me. I think it needs a BMW grille to complete the look.

Why don't you try something like this?
