Can't see a difference? Will you be using same engine & box? If so, no difference @ all!
If you are converting a carb to EFI, then you will need the EFI tank & lines, as the carb tank may not have baffles. Also, EFI lines are thicker. More info is prolly needed for accurate info

ATM i have a 1.8 SOHC BP engine, the KF is a 2.3 V6, should jsut be a matter of possibly modding the mounts and then wiring it all back together right

Sorry you need ot be correct on engine CODE - V body code.
I thought too KF laser into BG - BPT into BP SOHC or BP DOHC Either way. first off KF - is a 2.0L and V6 Your doing a KF V6 into BG SOHC. I can't remember box issues is here but think the BG SOHC had F box not sure. But your taking the whole BA KF front end into a BG. Can't remember anyone doing it. Not saying it can't be done. Most would go all out on a KL - the 2.5L. If someone has sold you the 2.3L S/C Eunos unit - it's the KJ and miller cycle and your in a world or hurt. |

KF 2.0
KJ 2.3 KL 2.5 cannot use the f box from the bg, need to use a g series from a K series engined car are bellhousings is different to support K series engine. to do the whole job as easily as possible, you'd need a donor car, money and time. so you'd need you bg, a ba, a pouch of gold, and alot of time. cheaper and easier just to buy a ba. |

the reason i asked was because theres and MX-6 up the road from my place that is being sold cheap, it has the 2.3L engine, could i transplant the engine and box without major mods?

Bonnet clearance will be an issue, from memory. And you might have to swap your fans to the other side of the radiator and make them push-type.
But KF swaps have been done to BG Sedans before, so it's certainly doable. You might have to play around with driveshaft lengths too.
