will it fit?
are the motor mounts different? how much work would this include? Im looking at the Millenia Motor, what about the trannies? is this impossible?

that sucks, Im just looking into all my options at the moment, but has anyone actually tried it?
I was just figuring the old Mx6s, FS and KL, same mounts right? im guesssing this was only for the Mx6/probe body though.
Im not trying to be thick headed, just want to know why wont it fit?
isnt the motor cheaper?

The idea is great...I wanted the 200hp and a beautiful torque curve...but I think it can't be done.

The mounting points are different on 2nd Gen Probes. To put a 2.5L (KLD or KLZE) into an FS Probe, tons of stuff has to be changes. Engine, tranny, wiring, ECU, suspension, mounts, axles, gauge cluster, etc. I'm sure it would be very much the same (probably MORE complicated) for a new Protege.
