    Protege rods/ pistons in 1.8 block?

    Question is exactly the title. i can get a cheap set of protege forged internals and i want to know if they will fit in a 1.8 block, from my understanding they are identical bottom ends... but i need to 100% confirm this before i buy

    If I recall correctly, I think it will be a complete swap. I know that Solo Miata has all that info on their site FOUND HERE. They have a list of what fits and what not.
