TOY: blown Probe and 4:88s/ez locker

["SHELLEY" <rood@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Steve:

It's been a long time since I've had a chance to get on here.  Hope y'all
are doing good out there!

<Correct me if I'm wrong (like I had to tell you guys that) but isn't the
<Probe engine a Mazda engine?  I'm pretty sure it is.  You could probably
<use the engine out of a Mazda MX6 as it's the same as a Probe.

You are correct at least for the older models.  I did that to an '89 MX-6 GT
that I had.  I dropped in a probe motor and used my turbo. IT was funny, I
was even able to swap the old Ford nameplate on the engine with my Mazda
one!  Unfortunately the car was destroyed in a garage fire when I was
getting a clutch put in.  I had just put a new HKS turbo exhaust on it too!
Well, I salvaged the exhaust, so if anybody wants one for a 1st gen Probe/
MX-6 GT turbo, let me know!!!!!!!!:)

I just replaced the rear 4:88s and ez locker in my truck with new gears and
a detroit.  The gears were improperly installed and started whining.  They
were only in for 7 months.  I pulled out the ez locker too so that I could
start all over with new stuff.  If anybody can use the locker for a 94 v-6
x-tra cab let me know.  I'll just about give them away:)

Later,

Scott Shelley
