There are some V6 MX3 parts you will need, Crossmember or maybe the whole subframe. I'm not an expert on this so I don't know everything you need.
Not sure about the tranny, I think the G series will but not the F. If you're keen on doing it, check the archives on this board for more info. You could probably get the tranny from the wrecked Mx6/pgt
You'd also need the wiring harness and ECU, and of course the upgrades to the exhaust, and fuel pump(?) Well, the stock protege fuel pump might ork but I don't know forsure. Check the protege FAQ and the archives here for more info.
