2.0 to 2.5V6 engine swap

Post by **Stew** » Sat Mar 09, 2024 11:08 pm

Hi,
Maybe this has been covered before on the UK site, I don't know. Seems to be a popular topic in the States at the moment.
I've inherited a Probe 16V and after doing some research on the Probe and the MX6 it seems that the 24 valve V6 model is much smoother and more powerful.
Has anyone out there had any experience in putting the 2.5V6 engine into a 2 litre Probe ?
Also, I've combed the internet to look for a specialist garage who deals with Probes and Mazda MX6's, but not found anything. I've done a few engine swaps in my time, but it would be nice to give the work to someone else for a change .......
Cheers
Stew

No offence, but why??
Be mentioned lots, but only actually done once or twice, with a few failed attempts along the way……

For all the work, hassle and expense it would be far easier to sell the 16v and buy a 24v

Just my opinion

I have both anyway

Thanks.
Biggest problem seems to be getting hold of a low mileage or rebuilt 2.5 engine........

Looks like a tidy 16v you have, if you want a 24v sell your 16v and buy a 24v
Simple option.
