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..
