Cool 2.5L ! Really clean ! Millenia KL or KLZE from a Eunos 800 ?

P.S. Don't run with the K8 electronics !

If it's a KLZE, put a KL31 ECU or SDS Stand Alone.

The Oil-Cap is from Ebay- liek this one in the link
You must know almost all Mazda have the same size for the oil caps.
Oil -Cap

I used brake cleaner to clean the engine and i painted it with a special silver spray that is used for old steel rims. It helps wonders.
The engine was picked up by a local importer of japanese engines. out of a Eunos 800.

when you do the swap, do you have to do it yourself...if so, how do you get the tools to do it? or do you just have to have that friend thats really into cars help you out?
Goal: 1/4 mile time of 13.099 or better, N/A. ...still in the works

I did my swap with the rental of an engine hoist, some jackstands, and a $50 mechanics toolset from wal-mart (stanley makes the best tools!) I've done about 6 motor swaps with the same amount of tools and with minimal help of my friends.

The only time you really need help is removing and lowering the motor into the car....you want to be sure someone operates the hoist, and someone else guides the motor inside without smashing into your lines, wiring or brackets, etc.

why should i need an Intake , mazda did a good job by designing the Air Intake. Every intake which is not shielded gives you less power because of the heat. The only thing i could do is to replace the flex hose with a SS one and du a custom Cold Air intake. This would give me maybe 1 - 3 whp but not more. yeah and good optics
