Swap 1.6L to 2.0L?

[shawn46]

sorry if this question has been asked/answered in anouther thread. i really did search for my question before i asked, but i couldn't find it elsewhere.

I picked up a 2001 Mazda Protege this week for $250. unfortunatly, the engine is seized and i can't unseize it. the body doesn't have a spot of rust on it, so i would like to swap out the engines. the current engine in the car is the 1.6L, and it's a manual. i was wondering how easy it would be to swap in the 2.0L engine from an 02 Protege? anybody know what exacly i will have to change along with the engine?

Thanks!

darn, now i find this thread!. the thread is about a 1999 protege, but i think it employes the same general pricples

just guessing here, i will need the 2.0 mounts, axles, transmission, clutch pedal slave cylinder, and ECU. what about wiring, will the wiring harness be different between the 1.6l and the 2.0l?

Would prolly want to grab rear discs as well

i would look for a wrecked 2.0l car that has a good engine. then you should have everything you need.

that is the plan, i am hoping to get an idea of how much work it is and whether it is actually worth it.
