Wrong motor.


You want a 90-94 Protege LX or 91-95 Escort GT.


You know... I saw an Escort GT at my salvage Yard... I don't know what the year is... the car is there and is fully intact, so I doubt the motor is running. :shock:

There might be another one over there... although I particularly do not like the idea of grabbing and engine from an escort :? my mother use to have one and that thing was a Piece of crap.
