    K series swap questions

    ive read the top stickies and i was wondering if there is any differences if im doin the swap on a 93 escort lx.im assuming that the swap is the same but is there any fabbing of any kind besides the radiator issue.i was plannin on runnin a honda half radiator so i think i have that solved but is there any other unexplained problems that came up.my car is in excellent shape and i prepped all the bolts needed to take out with some pb blaster so they are gunna be easy to take out when i do the swap.also would it be easier to run megasquirt rather than put the mx3 gs harness in? The junkyards around here dont have any mx3s so im out of luck and i cant seem to find anybody that has one for sale.

      yeah i read up on your swap and i dont see it being that much different but id like to find out before the swap starts and it wont fit....did u take ur car to the drag strip yet...i just want an idea of what my car will run with a stock klze and what i might run with a 75 wet shot and slicks...im hopin for 12s but id like to know a ballpark

        i never made it 5 miles...lol and i burned up the harness. So ive got no noumbers, i just havent had time for it and sort of gave up on it, and now i just want a Bp back init. seems dumb but.. theres really no loss for me. My friend witha klde in his mx3 ran 14.5 with I/H/E

              I'm pretty sure a probe gt transaxle will work fine. I think some years or all years had the same gear ratios as the gs.
