Anybody know if it is possible to replace a gasoline engine with a diesel engine? Or where can I get info on that?
Thanks

How about a Wärtsilä RT-flex96C?With enough time and money you can replace the engine in your Mazda with ANY diesel engine that you'd like.
Swapping engines isn't as easy as it once was.I was thinking of going the other way if my 2013 6.7 dies. Replace it with a Godzilla 7.3 gas.
Of course it makes no sense. People do these projects to say they've done it or to preserve a body that they are in love with. 40 years ago I saw a 1 ton Chevy with an 8V71 stuffed in it. Anything is possible with enough time, money, skill and determination. I blew up 2 of the famous exploding Chevy 6.2s in the 80s and finally put a 350 in the truck. But then I promptly drove it to the nearest city and traded the miserable SOB on a Ford. That was actually a fairly common remedy for those exploding Chevies - the guy I had do the swap had done a couple already. Those were simpler times though - no emissions testing and very primitive computers, if any at all.I have talked to a fellow mechanic not long ago if it made any sense replacing original engines with a different one. He said that it was of near zero sense.
