I can look for you. Cant promise anything though. Let me test mine first to make sure it will work. Haha yea i considered waiting for the wire harness before i put the engine in, but i wanted to get it over with. I can still put the wire harness in with the engine in. I will just have to take my time and thread it through all the stuff. Not too hard, but annoying yes.

if you had the wiring harness already, would you still wait till the engine was in or you would install the harness first? I'm asking because I am going to do the swap, but don't know much about the procedure... so I will be asking you for input. I hope you don't mind.
but do look for a MAF if you can... I'm definitely gonna need one so if you could find a working one for about the same price I'll buy it from you.

Engine
Mazda Protege 3-98,1.8L,AT,200,200 ,200,200
I assume 200 is the compression? That should be pretty good, right?
I'm asking about the AT/MT because I want to swap the tranny on my protege and put a manual transmission in. I was wondering if it would make any difference whether I get a MT engine or an AT engine.
I plan on going to the place and checking it out tomorrow (later today actually). I'll buy the BP if it's around $300.

This past weekend I got the downpipe in time and put it on. But the guy i got the wire harness from was supose to get it here by last friday and he sent it late so it didnt come until the 23rd. So once again i have to wait till this weekend. But i have everything now and baring any unforseen problems, the protege should be running this weekend. Oh yea, I found a 1.8L/MT wire harness from somewhere in tennesse. They are extremely rare and i cant believe i actually found one. I was on the phone with they guy and was explaining to him what i was doing, the whole 1.8l swap and tranny swap and i was talking to him about a automatic 1.8l harness would work and then he was said, "well ive got a 1.8l harness for an MT too if you want that one." so ofcourse i was like hell yeah!
Correct me if im wrong but when i get this done will this be the first BP swap in a 2nd gen using a Kia motor? Also will it be the first automatic to manual conversion in a second gen?sigpic

Originally posted by IntruderHey guys, I am looking at a BP for sale at a local junkyard. It's from an AT car and what confuses me is the fact that car-part.com has separated the MT and AT engines. This makes me think that there is a difference between the two. Is that so (I doubt it)?
