i believe you need all 4 v6 mounts but i remember dave saying something about the g5 transmission(mx3) being the same as the g15 transmission(escort), those prices suck though i think you can get the set for like $260 from corksport.com
93 Mx-3 GS klze swapped(sold)
96 Integra LS DD
91 Crx Si drag car
2.0L sleeved gsr block, forged internals, skunk2 valvetrain, HP racing intake manifold, Holset H1 turbo, 1000cc injectors, short geared lsd transmission, 3" turboback exhaust. 20 psi :)

I know that both lower mounts are different, and I've seen the entire mount and mount bracket for the passenger's side mount swapped on every KL-BG chassis car that I know of. You might be able to use your upper tranny mount again, but I don't know for sure. <P>You do have a MX-3 V6 cross member, right?

I used to know alot about MX-3's, but not so much anymore. Oh well.

You can buy all 4 Mazdaspeed mounts cheaper than you can get the 4 stock mounts from a Mazda/Ford dealer.

if you can find him, talk to Darrin on the Escort boards. He had a Mercury Tracer with the ZE like 2 years ago. He has since sold the car IIRC. <P>And you cant use the VAF off the escort. Its a different type of VAF than what the k series takes.<P>And to Hy300, the escort has MORE room under the hood than a MX-3. Same chassis with no low profile hood.

I have a VAF from a KL-03 laying around the garage. Came out of a '93 Ford Probe w/ ~50k miles. Shoot me an e-mail if you're interested: ogimoj@yahoo.com
