The block dimensions are totally different between the BP and the B6... The B6 head will not fit.

There was never a stock turbo BP car in the US. You're gonna have to find them.. Some people here may have some. I think CS has some.

Do you have the BP motor in your possession? Just install that, which will be light years above the lowly, whimpy, anemic B6. You'll be doing about 75% of the hard work by just doing that. Later, if you decide to go turbo, you can get the exh manifold (custom, or find a stock one), then the ECU (or megasquirt, or standalone, or whatever) and boost it until it explodes in front of your friends.

i think i am going to sell the bp motor and part out the escort and get a b6 out of a miata or something. im thinkin that will be the easiest and cheapest way to get my little danger cart running properly. what are all the vehicles i can get a motor out of n/a or not, it needs to be able to mate with my head or my manis need to mate with its head.

Miata, 90-94 capri (the xr2 is turbo) will be your best bets. MX-3's got them on occasion as well.

I'm in the process of buying a GTX as well and it comes with a complete spare B6T which is currently disassembled. It will be a couple of weeks before the deal is doen but I can sell you everything you need if you're interested. Shipping might be a bit rough but I'll give you the best deal I can.

You'll basically be looking for forged miata internals.. Flyin' Miata or Corksport would work.
