I have a 92 MX-3 GS. What parts from it do I need to drop a V-6 in the protege ? Any other parts need to be customized ( motor mounts , Tranny mounts , axles....etc ) Cannot find any info anywhere.

totally not worth it (130hp mx-3 v6 + weight vs. 127hp 1.8bp and not as heavy...). if you're gunna do a v6 swap, use the parts off the mx-3 to swap a probe klze (jspec) or if you're gunna stay in the us, at least use the kl03.
i believe most of the front end (tranny, axels possibly?) but im not too familiar with the swap.Seth

Must have missed a post somewhere but I found the info I needed.
I must say even though the post is old (2004) after reading it you realize just how retarded some people are ! I mean someone asks a question , Gets the right answer from someone and then keeps asking the same question over and over. Even after several people post the same or similar info , the same tard asks the same question over and over. But what tops this is the person that skips the first 3 pages just to ask the same question that was asked and answered on page 1.c+p>c<c+d1>c+p<m+d2>m<m+f>f<c+p>m<m+f>f<f+s1>c+p<c +s2>c<c+p>

Hmmm lets see some clarification is in order here : 1.8 V6...Bad 1.8 I4....good
As I was refering to what parts I needed to put a V6 in to a protege and not what I needed to put the 1.8 V6 from the MX-3 into a protege. common sense would dictate(sp) that the BP is way better than the K8 and a KLZE-KLde hybrid boosted is way better than a BP. And I meen Better as in way more torque.c+p>c<c+d1>c+p<m+d2>m<m+f>f<c+p>m<m+f>f<f+s1>c+p<c +s2>c<c+p>
