as far as hard to install, check BLT's website. SOHC requires more work than DOHC
Not only do you need the engine, but you need an intercooler, haltec (or stock GTX/R ECU & APEXi S-AFC & MSD Ignition Controller), Blow Off Valve, Boost Controoler, DX engine parts (timing belt, gaskets & seals, alternator, etc), DX Transmission, and Upgraded clutch. THen you need a downpipe and bigger exhaust. The engine itself will drop straight in though. Hope this helps
check out http://blt.n3.net, look for the swap guide.
Same thing I was thinking.

I sure hope so.
And there are a lot more stand alone options than the haltech.

I don't think you'll have too many problems with MD emissions, if we can get them to pass here in California, with some of the strictest laws. The trick will be tuning it well, which you need to do anyway. Japanese emissions are pretty close to U.S. laws, the problem is when they were brand new... smogging usually has higher tolerance as it's expected that after a few years an engine will be a little bit less in shape... in fact I think that on my smog certificate some of the emissions are about 1/10th of the max

About smog
I did not pass emissions on my first test, but it was a vacuum line that was offseting m,y timing.
The car can even pass with flying colors, but if the timing is not within specs it will fail. It has to be 3 degrees above or below the factory settings.
So, you got to be very careful cause you can have a Mazda 323 with factory specs of 7 degrees with a BP05 DOHC, but the factory spec for a BP is 10 degrees.
BUT, the tech will go by what is in the hood. Unless you take it to the referee or best option change the sticker in the hood or change the hood for a Protege DOHC.
Mine is a 323 with BP05 and passed on the second run after making adjustments in the timing and fixing the vacuum leak.
