Re: blown the funk up! PLEASE HELP!

Hey the Oil in your ratiator, is probably from a blown head or head gasket, the clicking is probably from their being water/antifreeze in your oil.

Thanks for all the input guys, i've been reading up on the bp swap, and sounds like alot better deal and alot less of a hassle to get into. I haven't desided what i'm going to do with the 626 yet, i might fix it up to sell or, like you guys suggested to make it a sleeper. Thanks-Joe

626 2.0L Turbo Engine in a MX-3?

Hey, i've recently obtained a 87 626 Turbo GT, with a 2.0L DOHC Turbocharged engine. I was wondering if anyone has tried to put this engine in a MX-3, or if it would be worth it. I got the car cheap, b/c of a bad fuel pump, so was just wondering, if it's possible to do such a conversion. My '92 MX-3...
