91 escort to 99 miata swap- Crank Angle Sensor Help
I have a 99 with piston slap
I recently picked up a 1.8 out of a 91 escort GT
My problem is the crank size difference, I need to use the trigger wheel from the 99 with the big nose on the 91 with a small nose.
My only thought is to have the trigger wheel machined open to fit the back of the 91 pulley.
Is there any other way i could maybe delete it? Or send it a false signal?
Ive searched on this swap and found 2 people have attempted it and those threads are long long dead.
before anyone says why not get a 93+ 1.8, I paid $200 for this motor with 80k in it. They did have 1 motor from a 94 miata with 160k on it and they wanted 1100 the other nearest pick and pull is a hour away.
Any help is appreciated.

is the head out of the 99 still in good shape? if so, just swap it
just use the block from the escort. everything else will be from the 99, as long as those parts aren't damaged
since you're already turbo'ed, this would give a little drop in compression in the cylinders, so re-tune and turn up the boost. You'll even be able to clean up the bay a little by sourcing the oil supply from the correct side of the engine as the escort BP's have the oil source like the 94-95 miata BP's
The only problem you'll run into is that the timing belt tensioner threads into the block on the intake side, don't exist, so get a big washer and a lock nut and you'll be good to go
