can a 88 bpt engine be swaped into a 3rd gen fs... i know the mounts would have to be reworked, as well as the wireing harness/ecu, but what other significant modifications would be necisary to do this as well as how much money would be spent(estimated)..because i know a guy selling a rebuilt 88 GTX (BPT) motor with 47k for $300(naughty) .. and i would love to do a swap...thanx
BP-T Swap question????

Use the search button. Anything is possible with enough time and money. You're going to need the motor mounts, transmission, wiring harness and ECU, and make sure everything fits and works. In all honesty, it'll probably be more work than its actually worth. Just get a beater 1st Gen. and put it in there. That way you'll have something you know it will fit in and won't have to worry about downtime while getting allt he bugs to work out.
haha..its not happening..buy a 1st gen.

well its a BPT (yes j spec)out of an 88 323 hatch(former swap) but it is the 1.8 so it is the 180hp version( i think??)...sorry i didnt use the search button i dont have really much time anymore to use the internet or do alot of seaching for that matter (i have to use it at school).. and sorry if u took what i said the wrong way i didnt mean to sound rude, i just wanted to know because i did buy the motor... i also am going to purchase a 1st gen like what was recommended.. infact i drive up to Hightown, new jersey this weekend to for a 93 es for $500 so hopefully soon i can make this car happen.....

Damn, from GA to NJ for a $500 car?? I used to live in NJ and it's 9-10 hours from where I am in NC to right around Hightstown (Allentown actually). Were there no decent 1st gens in the state of Georgia at all??
P.S. What way are you driving up?

93 ES? I hope that's not what the advertisment said cuz 1st gens only came as DX= 1.8 SOHC ~106hp
LX= 1.8 DOHC ~128hp
Oh and just to clear up about the motors,
B6T = Late 80's 323 GTX & 323 GT Sedan = 1.6 DOHC TURBO 130hp
GTX = 90-94 323 and Protege Overseas = 1.8 DOHC TURBO 185hp
GTR = 92-94 323 Overseas = 1.8 DOHC TURBO 210hp *RARE*
LX= 1.8 DOHC ~128hp

then its an lx.. it has power widows and all other power options so i guessed it was an ES.. we (me and ATLskate) won it on Ebay and the guy wants use to come check it out and pick it up... and no there werent any decent ones that i could find around but who knowsBoosted 1st Gen said:
