Engine design/layout question Mazda FS

Whack-o-pedia said: FS The 2.0 L (1991 cm3) FS was one of the last F-family engines. With an 83 mm bore and 92 mm stroke, it produced up to 130 hp (97 kW) and 135 ft·lbf (183 N·m). In 1998 the engine evolved into the FS-DE by undergoing several changes, most notably a distributorless ignition as well as the move from hydraulic lifters to solid shim-on-bucket lifters. Japan also received a higher-performance version, known as the FS-ZE. A special version of the FS was produced in 2003 for the Mazdaspeed Protegé which was turbocharged, and generated 170 hp (127 kW) and 160 ft·lbf (217 N·m). This was known as the FS-DE-T. It's worth noting that the internals of the FS-DE-T were identical to those found in the standard FS-DE, which were not known for their strength. The FS-DE engine did enjoy a few minor technical features, such as: -Oil Squirters -VICS (Variable Initial Charge System) - A system that can vary the volume of the intake manifold resulting in a broader power band. There were known issues with this system, the most noteworthy was that the small screws would come loose from the butterfly system that drove this and end up running through the motor. -VTCS (Variable Tumble Control System) - A set of butterflies in the intake manifold that would close to promote low emissions combustion under cold start at low engine speeds. These had a reputation of being noisy at times. (For more info on VICS and VTCS see here: http://www.mazda6tech.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=1) -Windage Tray Applications: - 1993–2002 Mazda 626 - 1993–1997 Mazda MX-6 - 1999–2001 Mazda MPV (Japan) - 1999–2003 Mazda Capella - 2001–2003 Mazda Protegé (2.0L models only) - 2001 Mazda Protegé MP3 - 2002–2003 Mazda Protegé 5 - 2003-2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protegé - 1993–1997 Ford Probe

Does anyone have any dimensional drawings of the mount system for engine and/ or speed transmission for one of these (specifically a 1994 Mazda 626 5 speed).

If I can't find a good Aspire transmission I am considering building a big block Aspire.

A KL V6 usually fits nicely anywhere a FS will.

I had a line on a MX3 with a 1.8L but the guy hasn't called back.

I am pretty positive it will fit AND can be done but I am concerned about overall length none the less. The only issue I have is making the hydraulic TOB work.

I am not afraid of that.

The FS only shares block height and main crank journal size with a classic FE series engine, making it really a separate engine. Think of it as a short bore spacing version of the FE, with bore spacing the same as the BP. This makes the FS engine about the same length as a BP but much taller. (i.e. it is NOT a tall deck BP)

Take the info from BP swaps into a Festiva and add about about 1.5" in height. The bellhousing bolt battern is not the same as a B series engine so you will need a FS trans too.

Randy, I can get a complete 1994 Mazda 626 that had the hood come up and wasted the A pillar for pretty cheap.

If I take the car the engine and transmission will be in a 1995 Ford Aspire.
