So I recently bought a body for the car listed above and it turns out it is a Mazda 3 2.0l and the motor I have is a 2008 Mazda 3 2.3l. So I was wondering if it is possible to place it into a 2.0l or would it be problematic?

It would be very Problematic. Wiring is different, engine control system is different. The transmission is different. If you have the turbocharged 2.3 it is even worse. The days of swapping engine sizes like we used to are gone.
