Yeah, KL swap. And other things. It's got a bit wider track than an Escort normally does at this point. It has Escort body panels and interior panels, that's about it.
Seems i may inadvertently have a "thing" for shitty FWD red Mazdas.
I'm parting that car out, though. OP should buy all my stuff and put it on/in his Protege.

Pretty sure the car is cursed. I haven't driven it yet, spent over 2 years building it, only to have the first motor only last about 10 minutes of idling before it blew up. (Buddy installed cam caps in the wrong order) I'm just really not into it anymore. I'm going to lose my *** on it, but it's not killing me to not race it at this point, and it's probably not much good as a street car. It was built to completely dominate the SCCA SMF class with a good driver. To the best of my knowledge, no other SMF build has taken full advantage of the rules like this car has.
Sucks to not see it through, but i need less complication in my life at this point.
Mostly stock KL. ZE bottom end, slightly skimmed heads, CZT 218 race cams, Interprep valve springs, oval port Millenia heads. Custom Gixxer 1000 ITB setup with Kinsler linkage and Factory Pro velocity stacks. (ITB setup previously seen on "The KLiata," which was most recently owned by CodingParadox on here.)
I was expecting 230-240ish whp out of this motor. 300-325whp n/a out of the full bore race motor i have internals sitting around for. Spin to 10krpms or so.
I didn't **** around much with "That'll do."
Anyways, yes. BG Chassis Mazdas are pretty much the **** as far as FWD cars go. You should build yours. With my parts.
