    I might be a tad confused here. I thought the AT was a 3.2 and the MT was a 3.0. IIRC correctly the 3.0 was a carryover with the manual, but the auto got the 3.2 engine.

    I believe you are right. I forgot about that I had a 93 manual with the 3.0. The 94 I owned had a 3.2 but is was an automatic. The automatics were able to handle more torque fro what I remember. Weren't one of the tran a cheap Mazda b2000 trans?

    You are correct, the 3.2 was auto. However after losing the rod bearings in the 3.0 at 121k, I dropped a 3.2 with the cams from a 3.0 and adopted it to the manual. I was an early adopter of this conversion (2nd or 3rd on west coast iirc, though a few had been done back east). Gave me a little more torque and I gained a little hp.

    Got me a 15.0 in the 1/4, with a trap of 109mph. Slow to get going, but once moving .... she moved. I never installed be quaife (sp?) in the transmission so I was hesitant to abuse it off the line. At speed, that was another story. Cruising at 60, drop I to third, spin tires and hold on! Third was good to ~110mph.

    I also swapped in the 3.2 for the same reason, nothing on that car was stock. Everything broke.
