Nice rant, those punk a-- kids are even rougher to deal with in person, they think theyre the top dog when it comes to cars but havent a clue whats what when they open the hood, let alone when they actually get inside the motor. My torino is about a year or so from being anywhere near driveable and ...

thats the info i was looking for. Im mostly used to doing engine swaps on old fords where youve just gotta worry about engine mounts less than half the time and less so on tranny stuff, but god forbid you own a Gran Torino or Ranchero, stupid mustangs get all the love and none of the headache lol.

theres a local guy parting out an 06 mazda 6 that has a 2.3 I4 and a 5 speed. I was wondering if the engine and tranny would swap into an mx3 or if its just too big? I would really like to get it so i can turn it into a turbo I4 or possibly just run it as is.

The SHO origionally came in the ford Tarus with both automatic and manual trannies and is pretty much a ford 3 litre v6 block with a bunch of nifty Yamaha stuff bolted on to the top making about 280hp/tq from the factory. Any info i can ...

Im looking at getting an MX3 to replace my honda prelude (it still goes, i just dont like driving it). Ive never owned a Mazda before but ive heard that alot of stuff will swap from a couple Fords so they cant be all that bad. Mostly looking for a good daily commuter that can roast tires whenever i ...

My money is either on a cracked head or alot of overheating and long time between oil changes. Only time i saw worse was on a 351w out of a 79 ranchero, still got that paperweight sitting in my yard
