ok now i know alot of u will laugh but im going to actually put money into my aspire , since it has gotten me around for so long and been a great car i want to give back to her , so im doin an engine swap so far the only engine ive found that will most likely work is the 90-92 ford probe gt engine , which is the same as the mazda 626/ mx-6 with the sohc since im thinkin only a sohc will fit , im wonderin if anyone else had any engine suggestions for my aspire , oh yeah i dont plan on keeping power steering or a/c. since im going to chop the top anyways , so if u find an engine that barely fits remember im not keepin the luxuries ex.a/c power steerin , thx everyone for any info

well they have put mazda 1.6 turbos in festivas so i wouldent doubt that you could put one in
www.fordfestiva.com/ you could e-mail the guy

i'm trying to dig up info over here

this is the thread

The DOHC 1.6 Mazda Turbo and N/A fit's nice, in fact in one of the later issues of either "Turbo" Or "SCC" they had a Hybrid how-to on a Festiva.

But there is a guy at Escortracing.com that has a Turbo's Escort GT 1.8 DOHC in his aspire, I guess it's pretty crazy, run's 13's with no traction.

there was a magazine that actually did that. i can't remember what engine it was but it was a mazda turbo 4cyl and they gave step by step how-to's on how they did it.
