mz3 2.3l + protege...

Title says it all. I know it probably can be done (that is droping a 2,3l into a protege), but here's the big question: can the chasis support the added torque and hp? If not, what can be done to stregthen it and at what cost?

It's probably the least of my concern cosider the body work, new paint job, rims, body kit and seats are all going to change. But it's always nice to dream

Thanks

For what it would cost you buy just buy a new 3.
