I know the Sephia uses the BP engine. What years are can I get a BP out a Sephia? Also, if I find one, I will just get all the parts bruce listed (alternator, wiring harness, ecu, and thats about it) What about motor mounts? I found a place really close to me with like 5 or 6 MT 1995-1996 kia sephia engines. Please tell me this is the correct year for a BP out of a sephia. Reason: one out of a Mazda costs twice as much! (cheapest one is a AT es engine for like $500) I need an MT with less miles. Same engine, haha. It's all good!

well see you have to rember something
1. there are differences with the AT and MT 1.8 [list=a][*]different oil pan [*]no clutch or flywheel[*]and different intake manifold[/list=a]
All this ofcourse can be had pretty easy, but you have to remeber that it will cost you a bit extra. ofcourse if your going with a lightweight flyweel then that is a bit different ofcourse. oil pan can be had for like 30 bucks or so .. I got my 1.8 altenator and oil pan for 60 bucks for the both of them...

Anyway the kia engines that came with the BP , I think the years are 94-97 if I am not mistaken , in my other post there are actuall posts about that, or comments.
I have the kia harness and the cpu , also have the kia tranny to... I am going to pull one of the protege axles and attempt to fit it up in the kia tranny for test purposes so then I will know for sure what fitment issues I will come across...
right the only thing holding up the engine swap is 1 motor mount and a radiator hose from fire wall to oil cooler ....
and also I need to get my 323 on the road ,, supposedly it will be on the road within the next week or so ,. then I can easily just pull the protege motor out
