2.25 L KJ-ZEM V6 (Miller cycle)

Is there a manual gearbox swap one could do for one of these?
it's also not on this list

so I take it, it won't fit in the MX3 bay :(

**All of the K-series lumps will mount up to a G25M 'box, so yes. I believe the KJ mounts up but there's one bolt hole missing.
The KJ is taller and deeper than any of the other K-series engines and two of the four engine mounts are in different places. Everyone who's every thought of, or attempted a KJ/MX-3 transplant has given up - though there's apocryphal tales of Mazda bringing one along to a motorshow somewhere in 1995.**

Balls…
So a KLZE\DE with a supercharger is the way forward

**Depends how much of a challenge you like :lol:
You can't really get KJs cheap either. You'd probably have to buy a whole car to get one cheaply (my Xedos 9 Miller cost me £770). Lovely engine though.**

Yup, I'm tempted just to get one and sell the Presso.
Too much hassle to engine transplant for me.
