In what car my engine can fit!
 
My 323 1990(a base model, sohc 8v 1.6L) is totaled... But the engine is still running(only 103k km on it since 1990), and I need a new car, so I'm searching for a car that my engine could drop-in with no hassle, and no problems...

Right now I know that it can drop right in a 323 from 90 to 94 (but I dunno if it would be all model), if someone could say to me others cars that my engine fit I'll be very happy of this :)

thx for your help harlem!

But a festiva is out of question for me, I'm 6'3" and weight more than 240lbs(the 323 is already a lil bit small....)


Other than that there's no escort or any mx-3 that had the same engine?

Thx again for your help Harlem...

Now I'll try to find a good festiva with a bad engine....

Why's that ?

Don't forget that some of the KIA Sephia's also had the 1.6 SOHC engine, i'm not sure what trim level it was probably the base model.

No, actually, the oldest one would be a 1994 model Sephia. (Supposedly there is a '93 sephia too... but i've never heard of anybody that actually owns/owned one) They are hard to find though. I myself have a '97 Sephia LS (1.8L BP).
The 95-97 sephia will be an easy find.

94 - 95.5: 1.6L only (B6)
95.5 - 97 : 1.6L in 'RS' trim and 1.8L BP in 'LS' and 'GS' trims.

I'm in canada so there's no kia in those years....

So I keep searching for a 323 from 1990 to 1994(that would be what I prefer)

Talking about festiva, what is your 0-60mph with the b6 engine in it?
And what kind of MPG are you getting?
