Thanks guys. Didn't know Mazda made those! Will do some more research on the compatibility of swapping just the motor. Have that feeling as though the stock inline 4 would quickly fall apart once I start driving it.
It's nice and 100% original inside and out, right down to the 32 yr old biased plyed tires. Has sat for years, not sure exactly how many, but guessing at least 20 or more. Inside and outside at times. Tires still hold air though.
Guess I'll just swap out tires and drive it, see what happens. Seems that every car I resurrect back to life always trys to commit suicide on me though! Usually on the interstate, in the rain, with a very loud upset wife making things better.
Was fishing for ideas once that time came to swap engines. Think I'll keep the exterior basically stock.
The 1978 year was the first Ford installed the gas tank / diffential shield.
