ok well i was wondering (cause i know that some people dont check the for sale forum) if anybody would like to get a dohc mx-3 motor and 5 sp tranny??? i have them from my mx before the bpt swap. if anybody would like to get a motor and start a b6t project and be able to take their time and do what they like when they like. the motor is in excellent shape and the clutch might need to be changed but i wasnt having any problems with it before the swap. it a 95 dohc 1.6l with a 104,000 miles on it. let me know. toos a price up and we can go from there. id like to sell it for at least 400-500 range for the motor.the tranny i would like anywhere around 130-200. <P>thanks for letting me be my own business man for a few minutes. fun owning my own business even for just a little bit. <P>all proceeds will go to the help jeremy pay for his haltech fund.<p>[ September 23, 2002: Message edited by: natural born honda killer ]

let me do some research and fid out if the tranny will bolt up to my engine and I will get back to you. I am planning on doing the BPT swap as soon as I sell one of my other cars. Anyone want a 95 neon, or a huge work van? For now I just need to get a tranny unfortunatley the one I bought to replace my busted one turned out to be screwed up also.

I have looked into it and gotten two different answers from two different Mazda techs. One says yes the other says no.

i asked chris malden and he said the swap would be very easy. basically its just like the b6t swap. corksport can give you all the parts you would need to turbo it and all. i would like to sell them together.
