I've been searching for info on this motor swap and can find anything on the subject. Has anyone ever swapped a F2T or FE3 motor into a BF chassis?? I own an 89 323 and was looking into the BPT swap but have a good F2T motor available to me for next to nothing.

The F series engines came stock in BF 323s in South Africa, it can be done. Use the engine/tranny from the F car, grab the mounts and axles too, and play musical motor mounts until you have it aligned in the engine bay. Use the main axle from the F car with the stub/end piece from the BF 323. What ECU are you using?

its been done, need a custom front gearbox mount and a cam side engine mount. Its not a hard conversion, me being from South Africa my uncle drives an original one. The drive shafts will need to be custom tho. I was going to do this until i found the KL-ZE Ford LaserFE3 POWA1985 Mazda 323 BF5P - FE3 powered

I was going to use an f2T from an 89 626GT and I was assuming I'd use the harness ecu and 5spd trans.
I remember my 90 MX-6Gt only had a rfl B.O.V. manual boost controller(13psi) and a custom made/home made 3.5 in. turbo back exhaust and pulled extremely hard, I was figuring the 323 would be a few pounds lighter so traction is going to be a big issue but I'm not looking for crazy big numbers just a nice unique daily driver

probably just a G series box like the F2 2.2 n/a's use. the fe3 fwd's also used a g series box.
