I want to yank that auto trans in my dx finally. Anyone have tips on swapping in a sohc manual? Also, Got a lead on a dohc from a tracer ltz, is it going to be a bitch to swap that. I have miata 11.1 pistons sitting here that I would like to use with a Gude header so I'm thinking I'll stay na for a while. Let me know what you think. I want to switch to rear disc too.

11.1 pistons? Better think about cams and a standalone.Bryan

no such thing as a Tracer LTZ.....only LTS, which is basically Mercury's Escort GT, in 4 door trim."Never run out of real estate, traction & ideas at the same time"

to swap an auto to 5 spd read this:
And you cant just "drop in" a set of pistons that are that high of compression and expect everything to work. changing pistons is a lot of work. i hope you have an engine stand, because you will probably need to pull the engine.When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?

I know that it's a lot of work. I do have a stand and a shop to go with it. I also know that the 11.1 pistons are pretty dramatic but I'm hoping that the Gude cam will compensate. As far as stand alone, I don't know if that's really necessary. Sorry about the Mercury mistake. It is indeed a LTS.I found out how to beat a Honda! Just about anyway you can think of.
