BPT
the bpt came in the GTX and GTR models for the 323. Came only in first gen 323 as far as I know. Years 90-94 I believe. Anyone know of any others, correct me if IM wrong.
I plan to go with a BP and turbo it eventually. There has been alot about the NA head and how it is alot less restrective. Just do a search.
try www.car-part.com for a listing of parts you might want or need.
barelylegaltransplants.com has a swap guild with a listing for everything that you will need to swap to a BP(T).
Good luck and post plenty of pics.
If you make that video let me know I can convert it to the computer, and put it on CD so you can post it online somewhere
Good luck!

you can usualy find them cheaper out of an escort gt or tracer.
check out BLT, bearly legal transplants, they might be close to you.
