V6 engine
Has anyone ever thought about installing a V6 engine ( 2.0 from 323 or 1.8 from MX-3 ) to an 3rd gen
Or does anyone know anything about that, does it fit under the hood?
And what kind of possibilities a V6 engine has for power adding?
Not thinking a NOS!!!
And what kind of power is it possible to get from a V6 engine for street use?

I would ove to put the KL-ZE into my MP3 but I fear it would be too much hassle and take too much money 
I think I will stay with all of the tune up parts for the 2.0L FS-DE. But I guess we can always dream eh?

There's a shop near Toronto/Ontario/Canada that says they do V6 installs into Proteges..

Listing at about $4000 CDN for the swap.
That's about all i know though

Jesse, you forgot the big sledge hammer. Without that, none of the rest of those parts are going to fit.

However, the results would be 200hp and 165lb-ft of torque in totally stock form. This engine, however, is a bit tough to get more power out of with simple bolt-ons only giving minimal increases.
