Here is my ebay auction. [removed] http://www.feoa.net/threads/97-probe-gt-klde-swap-into-a-90-95-escort.92369/ Just posting here as well. Text me [removed] if you have questions. :) I had started a build thread here, but well.....life happens...

Well, I should have some more pics up soon. I will show a pic of the refurbished crossmember and........my recently acquired engine mount bracket! Boom....now mounts and axles which are ebay stuff and voila!

Aaaaaah. I think I am seeing the light now. Thanks!

Lol. If you saw me you wouldnt suggest that lol. But yeah mute point. They are out. ;)

The trans side popped right out. I tried MULTIPLE times and ways to loose the axle nut.....wouldn't budge. So since I couldn't use them anyhow.....but yeah trans side popped out.

Wait....why? I mean with a Protg, at least newer ones you just run that harness and power it....plug the connections up and you basically have two harnesses - one to run the car and one to run the engine. I assume the only issues I would have are - speedo (mechanical or vss) - tach - and that's...

Couldn't get the axle nuts off! So, after a corded and cordless impact, breaker bar with extension.......nada. So figured since they have to come out and I cant use them with any swap.... Lol........

The guys in feoa say wiring is an issue and the hardest part but no don't see why I can't do what I had planned. I mean use the Klde harness and provide power to it and whatnot and leave the donor harness untouched. Figure out speed and tach as I go

The cross member is on the way. Same guy has the passenger side mount bracket. At this point I'm considering the swap on all available options. Even a 91 to 95 escort which is B chassis.

A little bit of an explanation/apology. At the point in time of posting I had and still do have a lot of issues I am dealing with. The last thing I wanted to do was have to source obscure parts to make something happen. Turns out not so obscure and easier than I thought to get. So, I have the...

I agree fully. From what I was told, read or misread......the 97 GT isn't fully ODB2 and wont communicate with the Protg. The harness I have has no provision to connect with the DLC. So yeah. BUT......hope lives on. Read next post.

Hit me up or text me 2523423562 Thanks!

Basically like the other thread. Sorry to double post but a lot rides on this. Last chance for me so to speak. Other than a probe.....mx6....or mx3. What will it drop into that's obd1 and doesn't require a subframe swap?

I mean....still hope....but I mean this was me trying to make lemonade outta lemons. The idea of making this is a / was a attempt to at least get something outta this screw fest. I was under the impression I could make it OBD 2 compliant, but would have to go a KLG4 route to do that which means...

Well........

Im scrapping the idea. Im not going to hunt down MX3 this and MX3 that to put in another car I dont even have to make one car which is marginally quicker than some of the bolted on ones I have seen here. This swap is better suited to somebody who has space/time and more money. OR at least to...

Pulled the shift linkages out.......good shape. Gonna hit em up with some paint after I clean them up some. Perhaps new bushings?

Yeah. I didn't have one at that time......and wanted it done. Like I said....two were crap so not worried about it. Oh well.....reason to upgrade! BTW, I went to the shop today and borrowed a techs - 1/2 breaker bar with 17 mm impact socket.....worked like a boss. Time to buy one!

Anyone ever wonder what a KLDE timing belt kit looks like from ebay.....................wonder no more! Pretty nice quality :) Metal pulleys, solid parts....pretty happy :)

Bueller? Anyone in here? EDIT: Got my timing belt kit in......pics?
