hello all! ive been searching around here for awhile now and posted a couple things to get some answers i couldnt find answered. so far you guys have been a real big help.
now heres my situation:
i have a 1991 ford escort GT 5-speed. im looking to put the ford probe GT 2.5 KLDE engine and tranny into my car.
now here is the list of parts that i think i would need. since the MX-3 is a BG chasis car just like the escort gt's im hoping you guys who do the B6e to klde/klze swap can help me out in 3 ways:
#1 let me know if im missing any parts at all
#2 let me know if you know of a better price for the parts i list
#3 let me know if there is anything that i should watch out for while doing this swap.
ok heres my parts list and prices:
Engine: $150
MX-3 mototr mounts/Wiring harness:$75
2 probe gt axles: $50
Timing belt and pullies: $80
MX-3 Flywheel: free
Spark plugs: $10
Plug wires: $80
Distributor: $100
Tranny: $100-$400
OE style Clutch: $100
ECU: $45
im guessing i'll have to get a custom exhaust setup too so: $110
a couple other questions i have:
can i use my stock radiator/starter?
how would i go about getting the speedo to work? the escorts/proteges/mx-3s used a cable driven speedo and from what i've heard, all the V6 cars used a electronic speedo. does anyone know if there is a cheap fix to this problem? if not then i could just opt for a V6 mx-3 dashboard...
thanks for all the help so far guys!
