Need a Motor

Ok I have looked and I can't find a MSP motor. Lots of 03 protege motors. I am planning to install forged rods and pistions,that's what broke. Can I buy a 03 protege motor do the upgrade on the pistions and rods, swap all accessories and mate it to my trans and put it in my MSP?(bang)
 
Yes you can buy an 01-03 protege motor. swap the main bearing support plate (aka upper oil pan) because it has the oil return fitting for the turbo. Also swap the oil cooler and oil filter stud, then swap the oil and coolant lines for your turbo. If you want to use the MSP engine cover you will have to swap the valve cover too.

You can also use an 01-03 fsde from a 626 and swap the same items plus the cam gears and cam sensor (possibly the crank sensor too.) Also you will have to get a set of coils from a 99-00 1.8 (fp) protege and 626 or 1.8 protege wires if you want to use the 626 valve cover, or just swap your existing valve cover coils ect over.

There's a thread w/ more info I will try to add a link.
