hi there can anybody help me i am thinking ov putting a mazda 1.8 v6 out of my mx3 pocket rocket in a sj will it fit or is it going to be a ball ache cheers stephen

[Edweird]

I would've though the biggest problem would be to join it all together. there's plenty of room for a V6 in there if you can get it mounted.

If there's a rwd gearbox that mates up to that engine and it will physically fit in the engine bay then it shouldn't be too hard

You'll just need to fab engine and gearbox mounts and a make a custom propshaft to join the gearbox to the transferbox

Quite a few people have fitted Mazda rotary lumps into SJs in the States.
