Thinking about a 1.8L V6 to 2.5L V6 Swap

[aliencito]

Hello People. I have a 93 mx-3 imported directly from U.S. (I live in Venezuela), it was 1.8L, V6, 24 Valves, and I say WAS cuz the engine is completly distroyed. Now I got a engine from a friend´s 626 (i think the car is of the 93, also imported from the U.S.). It is 2.5L V6 24Valves, it has about 60.000 miles (I don´t know if it is a good choice, but is hard to find a engine for my car here in Venezuela ). The old engine is already out (a friend of my dad take it out of the car) and I got the Part´s Manual from Mazda. <P>Now I wanna know what Im gonna need to fit the new engine on my car? (Please a very coherent list to make a shoping list to get the parts from U.S.). I ask this cuz I dont have the 626 engine yet. And what im going to need to replace on the 626 engine (timing belt?,etc.).<P>Thanx to all in advance for your support

Thanx for the link, but I get confused with al the terminology that uses, (my english is a little deficient ) All that I want (if it is possible) is a list of things that i should buy to replace on the 626 engine and to fit that engine on my mx-3, cuz, as i said, im gonna buy all that at the U.S.<P>Thanx again and cya

Hi Ramdao. Es bueno conseguir gente de venezuela que aun se interese en los mx-3 .Ese carro era de mi viejo pero tenia problemas y estaba pasando aceite y lo fundi hace aprox. un año. Ahora ando como loco tratando de recuperarlo ya que me van a regalar el motor de 626 porque no lo van a necesitar mas .<P>Acerca de tu motor... que kilometraje tiene? (no se si lo mencionastes como una insinuacion a venta o solo un comentario). Y que motor tienes montado ahora en tu mx-3?<P>El motor que me van a dar esta pasando aceite :S pero supuestamente con comprarle gomas o una vaina asi se puede recuperar al 100%, es por eso que estoy buscando la ayuda, para reemplazar todo lo que haga falta. De todos modos es mi unica opcion de volver a andar en mi mazda <P>Bueno pana, un placer y estamos en contacto.
