Engine swaps on these cars are easy and fairly cheap, if they aren't 98+. In 98 the heads on the 626 were changed so that they had solid lifters, different cams, and no cam sensor on the right side of the front head (distributor replaced with coils). To do an engine swap on this you'll need to either find an aspec engine from a 98+ 626, or swap heads and everything onto the jspec KLZE engine.

People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid.

Words should be a little wild, for they are the assault of thought on the unthinking.

He who knows not and knows not that he knows not, is a fool ... shun him.
He who knows not and knows that he knows not, is ignorant ... teach him.
He who knows and knows not that he knows, is asleep ... wake him.
He who knows and knows that he knows, is a wise man ... follow him.
