Putting a KF-ZE from an auto Lantis into a manual Lantis
The head gasket in my 1998 Mazda Lantis Type R Manual has just blown and I've assessed my options and found an automatic 1993 Mazda Lantis online with a KF-ZE engine in it and was just wondering if i could put that engine into my manual Lantis with no issues? I have the transmission and everything as my car is manual, so would I be able to drop this factory automatic engine into my factory manual Lantis?
It also may be noteworthy that the donor car is a 4 door sedan, and the car it's engine is going into is a 4 door coupe Last edited by Rdf340502; 30-10-2018 at 05:01 AM. |

Should be a straight swap. I'd keep your intake and throttle body though.

Thanks but may I ask why I'd need them? Sorry if it's a dumb question, never swapped an engine before

The throttle linkage is likely different between manual and auto.
