An F2T swap in a mx3 is far from not being too hard. Its still not even as easy to swap it into a 1st gen non-turbo chassis mx6. Most guys on the mx6 forum will tell you to sell your lx dx and buy a GT rather than swap.
The transmission is larger, the axles are bigger, motor mounts will probably not match up, the hub assembly must be replaced to use the larger GT axles. The wiring harness from a GT needs to be used.

A bpt swap is a walk in the park compared to putting in an F2T.

Take it from me, my biggest problem is traction. Plus all the torque that the f2t makes would shred any other fwd mazda trans to bits in one shot.
Bochek, I hope ur not planning on trying to make fit or use the mx3 transmission.
Bochek wrote:why. because im getting the motor for free, and no, its only a 70 hp increase, but its over doubble the torque.
not only that, but did i mention its free?
and also, just to be different!

The motor maybe free, but getting it in and running won't be.
Good luck to ya.
