Re: BP- KL swap.. possible?
It's the same as any 4cyl to V6 conersion. Lots of stuff to replace if you do that. With a BP, I'm surprised you don't just slap on a turbo, your 3/4 the way there anyway

It's doable, will need a few things from an MX3. Check ClubProtege for a few detailed threads (including mine where I went from a B6 to a KLZE in a 323).

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
