Default 05 Mazda6 3.0 blown motor question..

I have a 05 Mazda6 3.0 M/T that has a blown motor. The motor is a little pricey and before I buy one i wanted to know if any of the ford or mpv 3.0 motors/blocks will work.

With a blown engine, chances are your catalytic converters require changing. Some blown engines are due to catalytic failure and the pieces from it go back in to your engine via the EGR system (causing your engine failure).
Also check your rad, coolant and change thermostat. replace all steel coolant lines.
