Anyone still out there?

So long story short, I bought an xr2 about 10 years to swap a festiva. I ended up not doing that and kept the car. The xr2 had a salvage title, so it ended up sitting. Anyways it got to a point that I had to get rid of the car, so I saved the powertrain and the harness, etc.

Then a buddy of mine bought a mx6 for the kl engine. and we ended up doing some trading for the chassis. so now I have a mx6 that I am going to put the b6t in. This seems kinda similar to the kl swap thread that I saw on here.

I was so disappointed to get rid of the xr2, but for reasons outside of my control it had to go... If you guys are interested in seeing progress, I will post updates.

For some background on me, Ive worked for a Chevrolet dealership as an ASE master tech for the past 5 years. For the past 15 years I have been studying b-series/g-series and various chassis platforms as they fascinate me. It will be cool to finally have a b6t power me down the road! Thanks guys!

I will post some pictures of pulling the drivetrain and such and of updates to come!

Rocketman:
Yes please! Would love to see a build thread.

B6T into MX6 will be... interesting. They came with that garbage FS 4cyl engine too right?

This particular car came with the KLZE which he is building for his mx-3.

its a less than ideal swap for sure. lol but... its better than nothing. It should yield some information for bg-bf chassis swaps. im trying to figure out posting the pictures...
