It IS a 1.8 litre mazda. From memory it's a K8.


As such, there are a range of engines which can fit, including v6's and 2.2 turbo efi engines.

they are worth $0! to start with

I think I read they have same running gear as some common 4b, so could be a cheap starter for someone at right price. but yea, Zooks arent that expensive, and everything is everywhere for them!

Mitsubishi might be another donner as some mazda ute motors and g/boxes are under license from mitsu'.

Because he may not be a flush as you.
Because he likes his 4bee

Same can be said of Rovers but I dont.

mayeb use aftermarket zook springs and spring over adapters as sorcing from korea will take ages.

i'm suprised that u say a v6 will bolt up but it would be awsome if it did, i was thinking today about a mitsubitshi 2.8 tdi cos it's based on the 2.5 so i imgaine it would have the same pettern.
