I believe the wiring harness is totally different. If you wanted to change the engine mounts, transmission mounts, transmision, wiring warness, and then try to get the engine in, it might work. 210 HP would be nice. Millenia S's also only came in automatics, so this is another thing you'd have to take into consideration.

Could be hard, because Millenia I think is same as Xedos 9 in europe, so it have automatic transmission!<P>PS. I also talked about such swap in Mazda dealership with electician and he told that even swaping 2.5 l V6 from millenia some how integrated with automatic transmission and swap is very hard!<p>[ January 08, 2002: Message edited by: Martins ]

I'm sure you could get the engine, ECU, MAF, and other items for under $1K then rebuild it and install it.
