You could most deffinatly sell teh remaining parts on Mx-3.com. As for a 94+ Mx comes with a B6 DOHC! good luck.

Gutted the B6T today. It was its first tear down, barely any bearing ware. So next week I will be picking up the BP block. That is Iwill be trying to get it.

[Masterbanter]

Ordered some ACL bearings. I hope these will do the job, I couldnt pass up the price.

Those are the ones I was going to order but since my motor wasn't going to be a speed horse I chose the regular acl bearings. Let us know your impressions of them when you check them out

Here is a pic of the BP and B6T rods

Today I rebuilt the G-series slave cylinder, sandblasted and painted the G-series mounts too. Cleaned up the jackshaft and repacked the bearing with grease. So nice and clean.

I retorqued the bolts on my G-tranny, cleaned and painted. Just one more step closer to the swap. Still need flywheel and Clutch kit.

that looks sweet you mx3 guys certainly go all the way with your buildups, keep it up!

[Masterbanter]

Bought some mudguards and GS front lip. The GS lip was really beat up but with some TLC I have it looking good and will make the MX look alot better.

Hey I figured out that you will need a drivers side axle from a escort zx2 in order to use the G seris trans. The LX protege axle is too short cause the mx3has longer control arms. The right side you can use the LX protege axle, it works fine.

[Masterbanter]

Thats cool to hear. I have seen the 90-94 Pro LX axles work too. You might have been given the wrong one in the first place. That is might have. I will know more when I do mine.

[TurboProto]

No it wasnt the wrong axle cause it came out of my old fwd car. The axle is too short. When you put it in the tranny and then tighten down the axle nut, it will pull the axle out of the trans. Then again I was trying that wiurth the wrong trans. But if you compare the stock mx3 axle to a LX protege you can see that the shaft is longer on the threaded side. Im just worried about axle length when turning, I dont want to break anything

i used stock lx axles for my BP into my mx-3 worked fine, just remember theres a jackshaft and there isnt one in the F-Series

[TurboProto]

Im not exactly sure why the stock LX axle wouldnt work for the drivers side (left). But either way the car is now on the road with the proper transmission to hold the bp26 power.
