You swap the motor I got dibs on your original.

It amazes me how strong these little motor's are. The trannys are junk though.

I wouldn't mind rebuilding the actual motor and boring it over and such but the trannys are junk there's no way around it.

Thanks guys for all the positive feedback, i will get more pic's as the progressive comes.

What options are out there for stronger transmissions?

from what i've seen, nothing.

What about the ford combo? 2.3l with whatever trans they stuffed in there

Those could swap, I don't know if the motor mounts are the same....

I wouldn't mind getting that motor, rebuilding it and turboing it. But finding the actual motor is the key.

The 2.3 has different frame mounts. you have to find a courier and cut them out. But it's not like we can't fab new mounts. The aftermarket is very strong for the 2.3s, also.

There's 2.3s everywhere. Rangers, pintos, old mustangs. My dad has one with an auto just sittin there. If it wasn't cammed up I'd think about dropping it in. But fuel economy is a major thing I'm wanting.
