ford probe GT engine into a 91 escort?

[T4TURBO]

ok thanks. it looks like i'll still be getting those parts from you D323. lol, trying to cut down costs anywhere i can...but i guess i need the stuff

[T4TURBO]

ok i have source on a MX6 V6 ECu...will that work with the MX3 harness and the probe gt motor? if so ima go ahead and grab it, only $35 shipped!

[D323]

the crossmember that goes from the front radiator support back, is the same.

I got a pic of it, will post tonite. I held the v6 one up next to the one bolted on my 323, and it is identiacal from waht I can tell... I havent tried to bolt it up or anything, but I would suspect they are the same part.

The shift linkage looks the same, but as jitb said the lengths are probably different. The v6 tranny is alot bigger, and sits closer to the firewall, and is probably shorter.... It does have the same bends infront of the cat on the underside though.

the crossmember is the same, its just that the bolt holes on it are different b/c of the tranny mounts. AND you will need to get the upper passenger side mount off of the v6. The Bp mount goes straight, and the v6 one goes back and around.

I CANT BELIEVE I THREW AWAY THE CROSSMEMBER I HAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..last time i clean up the garage...lol

[T4TURBO]

so i absolutly need the crossmember?

[T4TURBO]

im pondering honing out the old piston rings?....(i was talking with bpt323, he suggested doing this, im not sure exactly what he called it) and overboring it, then put in new piston rings. does anyone know where i can get new piston rings for the klde engine?

[T4TURBO]

this is the right ECU correct? im about to buy it off probetalk and i just wanna make sure....

[jitb37]

Looks official to me

[T4TURBO]

WOOT WOOT! $35 shipped. beats the Junk yard price

[T4TURBO]

im sorry to bother you guys with all these little "check points" but i just want to make sure these parts at least look ok before i go ahead and get them....so heres the tranny im looking at: its out of a MX3...120 k miles

[D323]

is that the fuel filter bolted to the top of the tranny?

Looks like the v6 one to me... is there a serial number on it anywhere?

[T4TURBO]

yeah, he said i can have the fuel filter for free. lol. no i dont have a seriel number pic. i'll ask for one tommorow.

i figure for $200 and 120k miles its a pretty good. whats awesome is that the guy is coming up to chicago for hin on june 11th, so he said he would just drop it off

[jitb37]

Looks cool,..only one way to find out...is when u dog the **** out of it...lol

[D323]
