So what you are saying is that an engine and transmission from an Aspire could work in an MX-3 ?
It will bolt to the stock engine. Other than that you would have to figure out mounting etc, and use festiva axles.

When swapping an F-series trans into a festiva, you use 323 axles, because festivas and 323's are the same width. When you swap the G-series in, you use 323gt/mercury capri axles, as they are also the same width.

The best trans for mpg purposes is the escort pony trans with the 3.40 final. Its an F-series.
