Both of those come with the awd tranny (cant use).
You only really need to buy the engine.

Yes it will work with that engine if you use a different tranny. But what they are saying is, dont waiste your money on the package deal when you will just put the tranny aside and not use it.

probably not. some of the gtx guys and awd protege guys get them, but rarely.
Fast imports only come on two wheels.
