Hey, i know there is alot of topics talking about this, but none seem to answer me completely, so here's my question:

im swapping a BP 1.8L dohc into my AUTOMATIC 1994 mx-3 4cyl .. will my car's transmission hold the new engine, or will I need to swap the tranny too?
thanks

I matters how you drive. I would ask Mr. Atlanta thou. He just did a 92 MX-3 BP and Manual into his car from a SOHC and automatic.

If you plan on keeping the car an Auto-- i would try to find an Auto tranny for a BP.

That SOHC auto will not take the abuse that the BP will dish out.

Also-- I am not sure if anyone has done the BP swap and kept it an auto...
