    Should be. Just would have to use the escort rad hoses if you run the scort rad in a pro and vice versa.

              these statements are correct, if you have access to a welder it should be about a half hour affair. all you really need to do is unbolt the stock brackets for the rad, after you get someone to hold the rad in place when another person welds the brackets into place,and you are done. it isn't that difficult just requires access to a welder. i run an egt rad on my pro. works fine

                  No. The lx is a totally different car. Chassis is about the only thing that doesn't change

                    suspension will interchange, brakes are the same as the protege DX/323

                    obviously the engine bay is 100% different
