Ford/Mazda Techs
I know the 1.8L DOHC motor comes in the Ford Escort GT. I think there is a Mazda 323 that has the turbo version? Does anyone know about the mounts and over-all compatibility with these? I'd like to get the 323 Turbo motor and throw it into a friend's stocky Escort LX. Thanks for any help in advance.

Re: Ford/Mazda Techs
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you are talking about the Mazda 323 GTX. It was 1.6L 16V turbo all wheel drive. Never heard of a 1.8L turbo 323, I may be wrong though.

Re: Ford/Mazda Techs
