i want to put the 1.8 BPT in my 95 escort LX 1.9l SOHC auto 4dr. i read in earlier forums that i would need a 1.8 tranny, ECU and pretty much a lot of the things in the engine bay from a GT. am i going to need custom engine mounts or are they the same as the 1.9 on the 1.8? and are the mounts on the 1.8 manual tranny the same as the 1.9 auto? and can anyone give me a list of parts that im going to need to make this happen? drive shafts? custom mounts? custom exhaust? shift linkage? clutch pedal assy? clutch? custom turbo piping? a little help? call me crazy and i know it will be expensive but i've never seen this setup before and i think it would be kick ass.
