I found a Frod Escort GT!!!

[Jowga28]

I Found a 91 manual Ford Escort Gt for sale and I know I can use the tranny but I was wondering if I would be able to use the other parts on the car for my manual conversion on my 1992 SOHC mx-3 or would I have to get mx-3 parts?

you can use the tranny, axles, and head. some would say to use the block but the 91 had small journals and a different oil pump setup or something to that effect.

[ltjrunner]

and what swap are you doing???? or just prepping for a swap??? either way good luck

[Jowga28]

I'm doing the BPT swap on my mx-3.

[mxtreme38]

Yo! is the wiring the same for both trannies???

[OsoSlo z28]

yeah

[Gro Harlem]

the escort GT is basically teh same as your mx3 in terms of the chassis and drivetrain part locations. <p>The entire shift linkage, tranny, crossmember, engine mounts, and all that stuff will be a direct swap.

[OsoSlo z28]

you'd need the drivers side tranny mount bracket.

The wiring is fairly easy.. The harnesses are fairly similar and should run along the same paths.. they did for my swap.
