Automatic and manual cars with BPs use different VAFs.

MX-3 seats are way more comfortable and sit lower than Escort seats.

The air intake hose is always ripped. You can do a little cutting on a short ram intake from a 90-93 Honda Accord and use it to replace the crappy factory hose.

Or don't so you can use the starter motor for high torque rock crawling. Wait what?

Automatic engine+VAF+ECU with manual transmission should be OK. Maybe you will end up with a little more low end torque and less top end. If that happens it will actually match up pretty well with your economy gears transmission. Remember, the F-series trans in your 323 will work, but the F-series trans that is connected to the 1.9L engine in an Escort won't fit.

The guy that owned my SC400 before me had converted it to manual and then switched it back to automatic before selling it. When I asked him about any ECU changes needed he said the ECU didn't really care what the transmission was doing at all. Later cars have tighter integration between the ECU and the trans computer.

It is now starting to get warm so I will soon be moving my mom's gardening crap out of the garage so I can start working on my wagon project again.

Here is a reason to go get a G-transmission. The G trannies use an intermediate shaft so you end up with equal length half shafts and less torque (LOL 1.8L) steer.

Careful not to jostle the trans too much while the CV axles are out or the spider gears will shift and you will have to open up the tranny case or go find another transmission.
