bg awd trans in a bf gtx?

[jay]

I have had a bg gtx trans and a gtr trans on the floor side by side and there ain't no difference there. The lower frontmount is different, one is a bit shorter for some reason. Oh yah and I meant to say "BF awd trans in the '88 GTX", oops. Aside from the missing difflock motor, I can't come up with any visual differences at all tween the '88 323 box, a '90 Pro box, or a gtr box on the outside, save for maybe a different casting number on the gtr and even that might be my faulty memory...I may very well hafta go out to the shed and have a look when it gets light out!

Would a tranny off a 1.8 BP 26 from japan fit into a BF (88 GTX),

I remember someone starting a tranny swap, and found that the BG tranny bolted up fine. The problem was, to get the driveshaft pointing toward the back of the car at the correct angle, the engine had to be placed on a different angle. In the end they ended up swapping the BPT in as well. I think it was Greg D from the Yahoo group, but don't quote me on that.

IIRC you need to fab a new motor mount for the engine, the BG trans clocks the engine differently (leans it forward)

its easier to get into the project and find out what you need to do than to try to understand how to do it without seeing it...

i just jumped right into the swap cause i had no choice
i put a bpt and trans in place of the b6t with awd trans

had to make a new motor mount on the passenger side and new trans mount on driver side. i used the pan from the bf body that the motor sits on, and i think i remember using one of the lower mounts from the bg body to make it all work, but the motor sat on the pan first, then i fabbed up the other stuff to make it stable, nothin to it
