I have a 1998 Mazda Protege LX with the 1.5 liter DOHC (Z5). I have looked around quite a bit and I think the F2-T would be the best thing I can put in this car since I don't think I will find an FE3-T anywhere. My question is does anyone know if it will fit and how much has to be replaced with different parts. Will the transmission need to go? Any info you can provide will be a great help.

 

Its a money pit, ask brock. Swap the BP, there are threads discussing both swaps. Search.
