My KLZE Ford Festiva build thread

yup. DE is a oval port compared to you square runners. the millenia curved neck is a square runner though. so that really is the manifold to run for your type of application. i saw just saying a DE would at least clear your master cylinder. but you would be losing some power.

Thanks, i'll look for a millenia manifold then since i don't want to lose any power lol

So i did a little bit on the car again tonight, i notice the front valve cover has a crack in it so i took it off and i'll try to tig weld it tomorrow at work, if not i'll just use the Ford valve cover, but i'd rather have it say Mazda




And this is where i want to move the alternator to, it looks like it'll be a tight fit but i think it'll work



And this is to show that i'll have plenty of room between the axle and exhaust, and yes i still need to make a bracket to bolt the intermediate shaft to the block

yeah those pictures help clear things up a bit now. you should be fine. and why wont your axle bracket bolt up in the existing holes?

Because that axle bracket was never meant to be bolted to a KL lol

So i got the shift linkage modified tonight so it now bolts up and the shifter feels good inside the car




I won't get the engine/trans into work tomorrow to make the brackets for the int. shaft and alt. so i'll be shooting for thursday

[CaymenEGT91]

wow, i really like how well this is going!!!!

[Damkid]

^^Thanks

I got the enigne/trans loaded up in my car tonight to take to work tomorrow to make up the brackets, hopefully all goes smooth

[Damkid]

I decided not to re-locate the alternator to keep things simple(r) so i just made up the intermediate shaft bracket tonight




And a quick coat of paint
