well i finally got her off the jack stands.i figured id share some pics.i bought the car for $500.00 with 76k.it had a blown motoe.the number one piston was totally gone and ther was a huge hole behind the a/c bracket.After doing some research on the fourm i decided to turbo her.I picked up a msp engine with 41k on it and pu it in.the intercooler is one of the universal kits from ebay.all i need is a msp ecu and boost controler.enjoy the pics

[bgibb68]

just the motor.if i could get my hands on a six speed,id install it in a heart beat

i read on one thread that the 6spd off the msp wouldn't swap cause of some extra cable.....i'm kinda curious about it though...

 

[bgibb68]

we needa get together a cross country scavenger thread cause there pretty much aint s*** down here in the junk yards for us mazda owners....makes me sad

look for the 626 intake mani for yourself in the yards up there man. people live by those for the cheap increase they make...2000+ will bolt right up to the motor...and if you find any extras, remember your fam on here
