    Kia FE3 anyone?

    There are 2 Sportage with FE3s at the local JY. Anyone interested in one of these engines? I might pull one out for myself.

    Wait a minute, is it an interference engine?

        there nto really worth it. you need so many parts from a imported fwd fe3 to install it in a fwd app, that after you spend the money for the extra parts, you would have been better off just buying the real fe3.

        the kia's only use is to use parts off it. grab the head, and toss that up. bet someone would be intrested in that at least.

          if my truck didnt suck so bad it would be pretty neat to build an FE3 powered ranger

            Pull the heads as pat said. heads with cams in them. they are not interference. & you could easily swap the motor into your MX3

              Ryan- If I get the whole engine, what water pump would I use? It seems like the Kia one sticks out a little too far out.

                wrong. im not sure what thats for. im thinking its the fan. that bit tho is easy to mistake for the waterpump. the waterpump is timing belt driven.

                  Oh never mind then. So all I have to do is plug the front coolant whole of the head, and unplug the rear one? I can use a BP thermostat housing right? Also how do I get a FWD oil pan? Can I use the F2/F2T ones?

                      So in my case, I will be using the F2 non-turbo tranny to go with the BG G-series axles? F2 flywheel and clutch? Sorry too many questions before I get myself into this.
