Im waiting to get the mounts from Jesiotrot's friend "ben" A.K.A. Soul. after that its merely picking up the FWD FE3 for $705 shipped & then modifications to the frame rails & subframe.
ProGT91- your old kia motor is still sitting covered in the basement, i haven't even so much as started dissasembling the bottom end. all of the accessories are removed & the cylinder head became volunteer for Fidanza's R&D of adjustable cam gears (i'll get the cylinder head back dont' worry)
My main concern is getting the mounts from Ben. after that i'll have all of the motivation i need to complete this project.---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

KIA cylinder head before/after/inside-out
not all to impressed with the FE3 head design. theres ALOT of room for improvement. alot of it is probably to blame from being a KIA casting... but anyhow here are the results after soaking in a pretty concentrated base solution of water & laundry detergent (dont' knock it till you try it)---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

it will take a good bit of effort, but pan out & be far worth it in the end. the potential skyrockets over the BP & the transmission is beefier ....
mounts.... well i've had some help with that, but i may alter/redesign if & when the need arises---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---
