The rectangular black box is for the VRIS system... Sounds like you may have found a winner. Hard to say without looking, or looking at what car it came from... What was the car, out of curiosity?
Oh, and guys, FYI, the J-Spec/E-Spec cars had coil over plug after '00 MY, when the US Protege's got it, it's just that the Sport20's from '99-01 were the 3rd gen, early body style, and shared it's coil packs with the 1.8L motor, the remote mount setup.

Here's a picture of what it looks like. This one has the coil packs that indicate that it's a '99 - '00 MY FS-ZE engine:

You would have had to find a protege that has been modified pretty heavily if it was an FS-ZE engine. If I am correct those engines have to be imported from Japan to be sold through corksport. I don't believe that engine was put in any cars sold in the US.
Also, unless there have been some major advancements in the ECU dept. this engine is basically useless in an american Protege. We cannot control the variable valve timing (VICS I think to many V's floating around) with the american ECU, you would have to convert your car to RH drive to get the full function of the FS-ZE.
I hate being negative, Im sorry. I do hope that you found an FS-ZE though.

Uhm, he's in Malaysia, and he drives a Ford Lynx RS, like it says in his profile. =)

VICS = variable Intake Charge System ; not VVT
pretty easy to control, turn on the soleniod valve at certain rpm to switch long and short runner in the intake manifold. VVT i don't think an FS-ZE has it. Does it?
My car is RH drive. Anyway, i just interested in the cam shafts, and keep a spare motor handy if i lose the one i have now : )

Edit: Apparently, there is no MAy 35th.... I double checked.

Yep, that manifold definitly has the VRIS plenum in it (Similar to VICS, but not quite.)
Looks like you found a keeper. =)
