A hello to all and some questions about the swap :)
Posted: November 16th, 2006, 2:18 am
First off, i would like to say hi to you all. Im from the uk and enjoy having a tinker with motors etc.
Currently have 3 motors, an mx6, a mx3, and a mondeo. The 6 is getting broke and the 3 is the project car.
Im currently in the process of organising all parts for sticking this:
into this:
Ive read most of the info available relating to this that i could find but i have some other questions for ya
Firstly relating to the gearbox. I really didnt fancy the box off the 3 as i found it to be a fairly short ratio, so im thinking about dropping the box of an mx6 in. I know this will bolt up, but are there any issues regarding the drivetrain from this?
Also, has anyone ever swapped out the driveshafts and hubs for the mx6 parts? Do you know if this would be a straight forward swap? I can check myself in the future, the obvious advantage being a stronger drivetrain with oem parts (theoretically lol), but im hoping someone may have more info on this.
Got a couple of other querys but my brain is a bit coffuzled after night shift, so im gonna get flat
Any help very welcome, and thanks for looking
