Fwd Femi ?

Duratec 2.5 came in two flavours turbo i5 ie the volvo engine or the v6. Ie Ford, Jag or mazda.

Now I do have a rwd v6 rx8 conversion gathering dust that I need to move when I get home next week.

...and a 4pot (duratec25/Mazda L).

I know thats an almost straight swap with a 2lt in a MX5 mk3. Makes them pull a bit better

I guess it'll mount to the later Mazda6 box (2010 onwards?) or any of the Duratec engined Focus/Mondeo boxes.

Here you go...

Be wary of the X Type gearbox, the 2.1 V6 was the only one which was just FWD and has dreadful ratios.
