google protege garage. They sell used engines for I believe a grand. Or just go to a junkyard and find yourself a 2 liter from a protege or P5. Same engine.

yup...you can thank mazda for that...you can use any 01-03 FS engine...i have a spare engine but i cant sell it, b/c i know sooner or later my engine is going to blow and kill itself..i dont know why mazda didnt sell a spare engine with the car..ive never had a flat but they sell me a spare tire..(uhm)(bang)

go to car-part.com... make sure you have your head checked.. could have messed it up.. when i blew mine up it did.. btw.. there are some forged pistons in the fs forum, then all u need is forged rods,.. and you can be alot safer!
