Oh, and if you can fit the 3.0, you should definately look into getting a 3.0L Taurus SHO V6. It's practically the same engine as the 1st gen Probe LX 3.0L V6, but with 200~hp. Could even overbore it to 3.2L, I hear SHO'ers like to do that. ....or so I hear. Could this actually work? Lol.

i wouldn't use the yamaha engine either, too rare. and later years of the SHO motor were 3.2 anyway.

hey now--don't knock the Fiero--I have done three V-8 conversions on them. there is a company called V-8 Archie that specializes in the kit to do this. BELIEVE IT--my last one had a 5.7 TPI in it and it weighed less than a 7 does. Imagine taking on a Vette with the same kind of power but a full THOUSAND POUNDS LESS weight.....you get the idea. AND it was reliable power too--I drove that thing halfway across the country when I moved here...

Hey RX7_ZRO, just outta curiousity, how much do you want for that Probe LX, if you're sellin' it? How many miles are on it, and etc.? Lol, though I dunno, hah. I live in a townhouse development and we have five cars and no place to put them, lol. My parents would probably frown on getting a new car already. Besides, I'm only 18 and I doubt I have anywhere near the amount of mechanical know-how to do such a job as a MR swap in a Probe.... not yet anyhow. ....But!! I'm still curious about the car, and even more curious about what such a job would intail. Not to hijack this thread or anything, but what goes into doing a MR swap like this?
