well for the fact being the KL v6 can directly bolt into a protege b/c they both share the same BG cassis and yes i have seen one but not in your model year. So like mentioned above your sis does not have a v6 in there unless its The 92-97 escort, mx3, and protege are all BG chassis and for the most part are interchangable. But you my friend have lucked out being you have a 2000 + protege. which you probly have a BP in there and you dont even know it and that is all the motor you will need for that car being it can handle boost really well and easly maintained.
