Engine bay is already tight for a 1.8 Mazda 4-banger engine and any Mazda V6 is going to be a shoehorn affair no matter what you do. Damkid's done one but this manner of swap is not for the faint of heart. Likely easier to do what PhoenixSHO has been working on for quite some time is an SHO V6 in the back. Also I don't think there are very many (if at all) carbed V6s in the Mazda lineup.

Are you freakin kidding me? If you really think my swap is more complicated then PhoenixSHO's then I think you seriously need to give your head a shake

My swap did NOT involved re-engineering the entire chassis like Phoenix's, his project is incredibly involved and is a rolling work of fabrication art, it makes mine look like a weekend project by comparison, as far as I'm concerned my swap may take up more space in the engine bay then a 4 cylinder, but it's not much more work then a B6T or BPT swap

Agree with Damkids statement entirely, apples to oranges comparing a kl swap up front to a shogun style build..
