This is the first time my engine swapped Roadster has moved forward (and back) under its own power in more than a year.

  • I'm sticking a KA24E into my 69. should be fun! i like that you kept it a 1.6. i just want to stay with the family, lol.

    what kind of horsepower does that Mazda power plant produce?

  • Ah, the KA: a fine swap for a roadster. In theory this engine produces 128HP. I think my worn 40-year-old stock engine was down to about half that. It's enough power in a light car to chirp the tires in the first three gears!

  • Must have been a thrill to move it those 10 feet and back. Well done!

  • that is fantastic! the KA is supposed to make 140hp, so it should be very fun. watching your video is only making me want to finish sooner!

    very nice car, btw!
