Thanks Lofosho86 Were aiming at having the bed built by the end of next week. Just having a big decision on using a stock bed or have a custom sheet steel bed. Maybe this should go to poll...

comin along nicely....i like watchin build logs,,,,maybe here soon ill post mine up!!! lol

Hrdfrntr95 Your correct. I had to go to a new cab. The yellow one was just slightly tweaked in the accident, so I decided to go with a new cab. Only the tan cab has been rhd, I modded the steering box when the yellow cab was still mounted.

what is the model number of that engine?
and what year MX6 was it available in?

I am planning an engine swap also, but FE3 and adding a turbo
mazdalowandslow   +1y
The motor is a f2t out of the 88-92 mx6 / ford probe.

I was thinking about that swap, I have a new bottom end and pistons bearings rings etc
F2T 12v and efi, is it DOHC?

FE3 is 16 valve with VICS, easy turbo conversion with a bullet proof forged bottom end

Keep us updated on the engine build/install, it would be nice to see some real detail on the wiring and locations of all the engine componentry.

Great work bring this baby back to life!!

The F2t is Sohc, Id love and fe3 but I haven't been able to get my hands on one.

I will keep the board updated. The engine is going Megasquirt by the way.

benefits of megasquirt over oem?
vtec motors website has em in usually, or find a sportage for parts, I found a JDM engine easier than the sportage, lol
