FSZE:

This 2.0 liter motor is from the "Sport 20" version of the Protegé over in Japan. It produces 170 horsepower. You will need to get your ECU reprogrammed to get the full power output, but other than that, the motor is a direct bolt in. It goes for about $2000 from Corksport but I've heard it can be had for under $1000 from some Canadian engine outlets.
