possible engine swap

Post by 06vibeging »

Can anyone tell me if it would be possible to put a 2013 mazda speed 3 motor/transmission in a 2006 vibe? One of my friends is parting put his ms3 and offered to sell me the parts if it would fit in my car. Thanks

Just about anything is possible if you have enough money/time/skills. This is one instance that would take a LOT of money to swap. Custom probably everything. Smarter thing would be to swap that MS3 motor into a regular Mazda 3, but even that might take a considerable amount of money depending on if you could get everything needed from the donor car for the swap, or had to buy it new/used.
