1.8 DOHC Swap Starts July 4th

This is what im going for.





I think that will look real good in my engine bay.

I dont think it will be too hard to swap in i have the no how and the skill to make everything but i may need some ideas.

Fuel is easy to make happen( thank you mazda for inline fuel pump)

Engine mounts are simple to make once i get the position figured out.

Exhaust will be easy but not fun.

Computer is easy but ill have to make a custom dash.

Tranny mount is agian easy but will take positioning

if there is anything im not thinking of but you guys are let me know.

I will be doing a step by step write up showing the home made parts and the stuff i will prolly have to buy.

I hope not, is that a BP?

I think some things some people overlook is the angle of the driveshaft. Make sure the tail of the transmission is the same height as the stock one.

It looks top-heavy. Good luck on the angle, as others have said.

Yeah, I just looked at it too fast, I noticed it now.

DOH! Yeah, sorry, I'm usually a Honda guy, so my mind jumped to that first...
