Hi all. Glad to be a part of your awesome forum. This is my 1997 4 door BF323 which started its life with a little B3 motor (which served me well I should add) and is now getting treated to the mighty Fe3 :grin2:
The Fe3 original came in a limited edition 323 in South Africa called the 200i, so if you can find all the necessary parts (crossmemeber, engine and gearbox brackets, driveshafts, ecu, fuel tank etc) this swap can be a direct bolt in. But it is still tricky as only +-2000 of these cars were ever produced. I made it my goal to find these parts over the last couple years and finally the shopping list is complete.
The car
Removing the B3
And here lies a legendary, bulletproof motor. Thank you for everything little B3
I sanded the bay by hand
Chose a colour for the bay (R32 grey gun metallic)
Prime
Bay complete. Hardware was electroplated gold and everything fitted
