You mean a BP, or a K8?
Anyways, as far as I know, there's no difference at all.
I'm glad you finally got it.

It probably came out of a 1.8 sohc protege, look for a stamping, if it starts with f, you are good to go, if it starts with g, you might need to swap axles too because then it would have came from a 1.8 dohc. You should just have to swap on your speedo cable and wire up your neutral switch and reverse lights and be good to go.

I do believe it. I have experienced it.
Best feeling in the world. Now your car stopped being a machine to become your "baby".
Enjoy!

Check the codes please. It could be something simple like an O2 sensor.
