Who's gonna be the first to swap in a KL V6?
Rocketman:
Who's gonna have the first V6 Capri? It's now a pretty common swap on the BF 323 (the same chassis we are built on) so it should work for us...
Theoretical swap requirements:
-Transmission differential swap to retain 26-spline axles?
-Pedal swap (xr2 to V6) to hydraulic clutch master. Or a cable to hydro linkage (these exist, mechanical lever/hinge system)
-Custom engine mounts
-Cooling system modifications - the V6 has a very different routing than we do
-Major wiring
The swap should not require any cutting of the frame rails, the V6 is approx the same length as the stock engine.
My major concerns are firewall clearance and headight bucket clearance
WHO'S IT GONNA BE??
CapriTypeR:
What cars did the KL's come in?
Rocketman:
lets see. USDM got the KLDE (164hp)
93-97 Probe GT
93-97 Mazda MX-6 (some models)
94-02 Mazda Millenia (some models)
Also readily available from JDM importers as the KLZE motor (200hp) quite a handful of overseas vehicles got the KLZE
Bigjakey:
Omg. I hope somebody busts into this swap. This would be sick!!
Rocketman:
Well, it fits without cutting anything. Get to work, folks!
