B6 Head and transmission questions.
My dad has finally agreed to sell me the '88 323, for $750. Before everyone says "turbo it!", I'm not going to. This car will be my daily driver/snow car/hauler, etc, and my dad just spent like $250 on exhaust parts and other things to fix the car.
So I was thinking, I could do a DOHC head swap. But I'm confused...which one is the best: B6 from the MX-3 or B6T head? Pros, cons, etc? What all would be involved, just the head/valve cover/timing belt, what about the intake manifold, what about the ECU?
Now then, the automatic has decided not to shift to overdrive anymore, and I wanted to do a 5 speed swap anyway...which transmission should I get? Are all of the B6 transmissions the same, or will a G-box work, I have no idea.
I have no place to do the transmission unless my dad decides to help me, but I don't know if he'll be willing to...he can get it done in a day no problem, he did the swap in my brother's '87 626, and I know that it would take me forever to do it on my own, and I'm not even sure I could do it myself.
I asked on Mazda323Performance forums but that place is slow, and I'm bored today so I figured I could ask here and see what everyone says.
Can't wait to be driving around in this beast again.

From what i recall in the end trying to swap over a DOHC head is more work and what not then just bolting a B6T in there but then your F series tranny will blow anyways soooo... Umm and yeah a F series fits from 86-89 if i remember correctly. Also a 87-90 tracer has all the same parts as well for MOST things but NOT the fuel injection, etc. which the original year or two was different for some reason.
