BP swap question

facko · Post by **facko** » July 8th, 2007, 6:58 pm

everythings been going smoothly so far but the only problem ive run into that i hadnt heard anything about is with the lil brace that holds the axle that mounts to the block...sorry if thats a crappy description...but the bolts seem to be in a different spot on the BP block than the b6d. if i get the mount bolted into the spot on the BP block the axle doesnt go into the tranny all the way...am i missing something obvious or is there some work to be done here?

ARe u going from B6 to a BP and are still useing ur orginal F-series trans.

IF so which engine did u have the sohc or dohc.

If u have the dohc then the halfshaft won't bolt up to the BP block ur going to have to use the passenger side axles from the sohc mx-3 in order to make it work.

im if im off the subject then disregruad what im saying. i had a very long night and im just waking up. LOL

ur going to have to give up the halfshaft and use the very long single axle that comes from the 92-93 sohc MX-3.

yea i figured that out when i started looking for the part

got one ordered last night so hopefully it wont take to long to get here...sucks to wait tho cuz only things left to put on it are the battery, intake, and bolt up some exhaust then it Should start right up...should being the key word
