egt motor into a 1.6 single cam 323..
« on: July 14, 2010, 06:39:00 PM »

couple days ago, a long time friend of mine called me up to see if i was interested in getting greasy...
toyotas shutdown ,im on vacation, sure whatcha got in mind...
now, a little background on my buddy,
hes had miatas for years,and is an avid autocrosser.. very avid .. tires in the living room avid... he had a bp miata, and when an accident claimed that one..
i went with him to pick up his mazdaspeed turbo miata.
  i had known he had bought a 323 beater for a dd and winter car..
but what he wanted was more oomph for his 323.

he sourced a 91 escort gt.. with the 1.8
and had it harvested when i got the call...
i grabbed a few beers and some misc. tools that he needed, and was off...
 
the bp donor engine

 
its actually a nice engine..
 
it really is just a big b6..
 
everything looks good...
 
 
heres the 323 recieving the transplant...its got a 1.6 sohc engine making a neck snapping 85 hp..

The B6 engine is a nice simple quick upgrade for a festiva. The BP engine is a little more involved but, well you'll get the idea once you drive the 323. Take off 400 lbs or so and you have a festiva.
