the car is so much better for what I'm building it for than anything Mazda makes* but goddamn do I hate these motors.
if I blow up this one I'm selling all the KA **** and shoving the BPD in there

Because FE3 > BPD.
And it would be an easier swap from a "let's get this bitch attached to a RWD transmission worth a damn."
Though i suppose you could find a TII adapter plate for the BPD. You'll have to dick with manifolds either way.
FE3 is the God of old mazda 4 bangers. I'll demonstrate over the next 12 months. Stay tuned. :D

convincing me to use anything other than a motor that has already proven its invulnerability is going to be an exercise in futility, haha
also, IIRC Pat is making like 340 wheel on a stock Miata trans and the only thing he's broken is a shift lever?sigpic

I was on the verge of breaking my 5spd with my 2554 car.
Is pat the FC-with-a-1.6-miata-motor guy?

motor is back together (getting the timing chains aligned properly was way easier than I expected), turbo and manifold are on, **** is ready to rock.
the plan is to take the car and motor over to a friend's shop tomorrow night and basically wrench on it until we fall asleep. in theory it should be pretty close to running again by Sunday.sigpic
