Default Why only V8 discussions? No love for the I4/I6/B4/V6?

I have been thinking of doing a motor swap on an FD that I have. The thing is I am not planning to use a V8. I would like to show my progress on this forum. Maybe I am being silly, but maybe this section of the forum could read "Piston Conversions" or something similar.

Just my $.02.
Brandon

I have changed my mind more times than I can remember. Currently I am thinking of a 4g64 running on E85. I have most of the motor and trans components. Just need to get further along with the chassis build.

I have the Mazda truck bell housing mated to a TII trans right now. I can't see why a FD trans wouldn't fit this bell housing though.

No need to keep this thread, IMO.

Feel free to delete it, unless you believe it to be helpful.

I have seen a SR20DET motor in an FD in one of my Superstreet Mags from a few years back. I'll have to dig through my collection and get back to you.
