    Just a few questions for my future BP swap

    Well the escort should be good for parting out soon so believe me ill let everyone know the second the opertunity opens. I was at his shop a few days ago and he hasnt been using the escort in a while so...in a week or so i should be expecting a phone call.. heh (rotors were all rusty)

    And BTW im planning on doing a full drop w/tranny and all....i wont even have to retime the engine but i WILL clean the crap out of it while its out

    I would like to upgrade the following during the swap

    Engine mounts - I want the engine to BARELY move at higher rpms
    Axles - basically stronger

    Im also looking into a better fuel managment system. I would like to ditch the VAF and get some sort of stand alone setup to get the car ready for forced induction. Im sure im going to have to replace injectors and such. Trying to keep this as cheap as possible which isnt the best route. heh At least im doing all the labor and get complete access to tools/lifts. Thanks for any reply.

    Don't be cheap. Do it right the first time.
    I learned this the hard way.

      Thanks, yeah Im trying going to try to get it done the right way but along with not spending TO much money i wanna get it done right. Im seriously debating if I should upgrade the clutch on the BP when the engines out of the car so i dont have to waste time/money later on when i turbo/procharge it. but before i get ahead of myself im gonna first just get the OK to pull the engines. Then do so as quickly as possible
