I'm trying to find a new engine for my Mazda 6. I was wondering if a 3.0L V6 from a Mazda mpv would fit in my car. What do you think?

It is hard to say I would call the wrecking yards because they have special software that can tell you if the engine will fit are not, you may need to give them a couple of bucks. I would make sure the bolts patterns and sensor and engine mount locations are the same.
