Depends on what you want. Do you want a DE or a ZE?

you can pick up ZE's from 800-1000 at BJE i've gotten 2 from them, great guys. you can also try Nad auto. I know bje usually has about 10-20 in stock at all times. Really clean motors though
this is how mine was:

but if you need help with v6 info you should check out the moca forums as we've done more of these swaps then any other club in atlanta I've done 2 swaps and helped on others www.atlantamx3.com/mocaforum

Mazmart or Nad auto is were I usually go first for mazda engines. I just got a Toyota V6, for a customer, from there earlier this week. I am about to start it up in about an hour....looks like it has very low mileage by looking at the intake manifold.

Good luck :goodjob:

thanks for the suggestions everyone. I may just try to get it going with just a head but i may go with a whole motor if they are that well priced

god damn back outta nowhere! to answer everyones question, just one head was bad so we might just put a new head on it and just use it as a shop car/dd for one of our techs so he can boost his car

once again though, thanks for all the suggestions. as far as the probe gt motor goes, i have no idea...i really dont know shit about mazda swaps other than a 20b is supposedly a bad ass motor

the probe gt and the mx6 both have the same motor, so does the 626 the millenia motor is the same but has better heads and Manifolds blah blah blah i could go on for hours about the 2.5 motors

Mazmart is way overpriced, i'm sorry but they are, you can go to nad auto and BJE and get a Jspec 2.5l Klze motor for 900, you cant go to Mazmart and find the aspec 2.5l Klde motor for 900, and you get longer warranties with the other companies. granted this is just on motors and trannies. Mazmart does usually have what you need instock most of the times, but still they are high priced for used parts.
