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 :doublethumbs:

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.
