Well if you dont have a garage and no place you can take it to get it done.. and cant have a shop do the work for you.. I would recommend swapping in another DOHC B6DE engine.. it will be plug and play and you dont have to research anything and you dont have to spend time finding the extra parts you would need to get the BP running. I am assuming you need to have the car back ASAP and this is my recommendation for that situation.

thats what i'm thinking but how much work and what would i have to expect in the BP swap caz i found a motor from a 93 protege for a really good price and can't find a dohc yet

Well I am not an authority on the BP.. I havent worked on one.. I havent swapped one.. and I havent researched one.. Ariesdude has done it though.. even managed to do it with a ATX even. AtlantaMX-3 has a journal of his trials and tribulations of his swap. So maybe research some of the stuff those guys have done. Though if you buy the whole Protege.. you should have all the parts you need to do the swap if I recall correctly. I'd still check with Atlanta or Ariesdude and see what they say. Make sure you ask Atlanta if you can install a Rotary in your MX-3 too

LOL
