Damn it. Why did I come in here? A KJ swap would be pretty awesome. I like swapping things. Now I need to find another clean Escort/Tracer. I'm thinking an LX-E or an LTS for my BP4W/GTR swap, then throw a KJ in my hatch... of course compound boost and MS would be needed. AGH!

I know all about the sound they make. Part of the reason I put that supercharger setup on my Escort GT was the beautiful noises my friends S used to make. Now I want to know what the KJ feels like in a sub-2500LB vehicle, with a 5-speed attached.Current:

i bet even with an auto it would still be fun. i think dennis from feoa might know of some places that could beef it up if you wanted to compound charge or something else silly like that. in a light chasis the torque from the k series must be great, i miss having torque now that i am with the 1.8. when i am in stop and go traffic its a bit annoying sometimes.

I think the post above you, saying the car is officially dead and going for scrap means there won't be anymore updates on this car.... Just a thought
1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor
1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)
If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?
