Is there any way that I could fit the KL V6 2.5 into a 1993 Mazda 323 Astina SP BG.

Without a lot of fiddling around and modification.

Also will it be too heavy for the front part of the car too handle the additional weight or will it be able to handle this motor.

Was just thinking this way because a mate told me it's possible.

I just thought that there wouldn't be enough clearance for the bonnet.

And I want to keep the mounts sort of stock oem so If I need to or want to I can do a swap back to the DOHC 1.8L BP motor.

Let me know what you guys think cause I know that compared to GTX and GTR motor the KL V6 is alot cheaper.
