Please help, I am looking to get a 12a or 13b into my 76 bmw 2002. I need as much help as i can get, as this is my first motor swap. I am located in Carrollton, Georgia. That is right at Alabama. If anyone has any help or guidance to offer, please do.

nice ride

 

Sibce the 12A is about extinct, buy a 13B. The younger the better. Get the transmission as well. Installing the engine and building an adaptor to mate it to the BMW trans is 2 big projects rather than one. Splice the drive shaft to mate up with the BMW shaft. Get the wire harness and the management system with the Mazda engine. Buy a Mazda manual and a BMW manual. You can down load those from several web sites.
Go to Paul Lamars web site for the Mazda stuff. So you can see the wireing diagrams. Set the new engine in place held up with a floor jack to see what you need engine mount wise. Make patterns out of poster board.

Use stock parts to the extent possible. This brings back memories of my small block Chevy powered Falcon station wagon.
