I think it can go into an MX3 as well but I doubt you'll find a cheap shell.

I you can put it in a FORD escourt or a Ford festiva for a wicked power to weight ratio.

I know a lot of escort guys throw these in no problems.

Festiva, not so sure about. But escort definitely.

throw it in an escort wagon and call it your parts runner

the 323 hatch the swap is simple and cheap, you'll want to look into a diffrent tranny if i remember right as the stock ones are pretty shitty

a buddy of mine had a 323 hatch a while back and did a swap.. i'll see if i can get some links from him

If it's the b6-t then yeah you can throw it into a festiva. Well, an aspire at least, so probably a festiva.
