    Engine Swap info

    I have a 1990 323 SOHC. If I buy a Ford Escort Gt do I just swap the engines and ECU? can I keep my manual transmission from the 323? are the engine mount points the same?

        i believe he is talking about swapping in a BP-DE for the B6-ME
        When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?

        With much too much boost,
        And drove a rod through his block.

          trannies will bolt up, but the mounts are different, and so are the axles, probably....since the BP is about 1 inch longer...

              Yes, the engine and tranny will fit fine. A few members have done this swap already.
