That would be sweet! Hadn't considered one of those but I'd want it to be factory 5 speed. Whatever I drop it into should be a simple bolt in. Mazda designed these engines with the same basic deminsions as an FE motor. Same basic size and bell housing. Not sure about the mounts yet. From what I've gathered so far the 1:1 axle ratio is 3.73 Think I could go lower with a gas engine 5 speed. Need to find an interchangability list for the FWD Ford / Mazda engines & manual trans such as the years and models etc.
