Engine Build Help

[jwehrheim]

I am in the process of rebuilding a MSP and bought a used Protege engine for the engine block, crank and aluminum tray between the block and oil pan. I have several questions.
1. The aluminum tray on the MSP has an oil fitting for the turbo. The engine I bought does not have this hole the oil fitting. It appears that the MSP has a special aluminum tray. Is this correct? What can I do or where can you buy an MSP aluminum tray?

2. What clutch do you guys recommend for street use. At this point I am keeping most everything stock except better rods and Wiesco pistons, ARP bolts, etc.

Thanks

Yes it's msp specific. You should be able to get one from your dealer. They run right around $380 the part number is FSAX-10-380 .

you can also get a exedy stage 1 for clutch

I second the exedy stage 1 as long as you plan on staying near stock. I put mine in back in feb. and it's already slipping.

The car I bought that had a blown motor. Threw a rod through the engine block and tray. I pulled the head and the valve is bent, so now I also need to rebuild the head. Ugh.
