this is very easy, dont cut any wires. go to your old engine, and unplug the ingector harness, and plug that into your BP you will have to take off some of the tape to move one plug for the coolant temp you can wire the vics later

it will work, you can use your original wireing harness... just have to move the one plug from under in intake manifold to under the water outlet. also, you need to get a distributor off of a 90-94 protege your stock ecu will work (vicks will not activate + lower rev limit)

The better question is which will take more time and effort. All in all I personally would spend less time just directly swapping in the newer motor than i would doing a head swap.

well I dont think it should take you more than an hour to swap a head, if you think you can swap an engine faster ...

you HAVE to use your original 1.6 dohc distributor, if not, you will have to re wire everything.

you can also get a tranny off of a Ford Escort GT
both of these will use the same axles

you can also use the tranny off of a Kia Sephia 1.8. Any of these trannies can be found at a local junkyard for a lot ...

ok, if you really have 3000 to spend, why not do it the right way... BOOST it :-D

you can probably save money by buying a BP-T for about an extra 800 dollars. if not, just get the regular engine, and put a nice turbo kit on it... you will never regret it.

try to find a cheaper transmittion... i ...

i beleive there are 3 different valve covers on the bp

the square (rectangular box looking one) is the ones off of the BPT and protege
the one that is kinda rounded off but kinda square (square but has the timing belt UNDER the valve cover) is the 94+ newer style BP

the best way to run it on these cars is with the maf as close to the tb as possible, and the bov right before that. it works beutifully, and if u get any problems w/ your IC pipes (eg. pipes blow out) your car will drive perfectly. i dont care what anybody says blah blah blah thats how i have mine ...
