promise you i search and could not find exactly what i was looking for.... i currently have a 2004 mazda 3 hatch and the 2.3 in it i believe is do for replacing i may be able to rebuild it. anyways onto the point if i were to come accross a speed3 engine what would i need other then the engine to do a swap into my vehicle is it worth it and is there possibly i write up that someone can kindly direct me too =)

from what i've read before, i believe it would just be easier to sell your 3 and get a speed3. or you could always put a turbo kit on yours

gotcha well i maybe able to save my engine =) so no worries thanks tho

Not even worth trying to put a speed3 in there. Numerous threads about that swap. Turbo kit is the way to go if speed is your need.

What's the engine doing?

i got a 2.3 so i ordered a 2.3 reman for it found one for 2grand... i just dont have all the time for buying the turbo kit and all the other peices and peicing in together with money being a little tight so i was looking into buyin a used speed 3 engine for the same price i bought the reman but no worries i went reman... i figured it would not be worth it to do a speed 3 swap but i thought i would ask
