Question 2004 RX8 engine replacement.

Hello Everybody. I am new to this CLUB but I will dare asking you a question.
Does anybody know if i can put a 2006-07 RX8 engine on a 2004 RX8?
The transmission is automatic.

No, your automatic is a four port and the -06-07's are 6 port. It could be done but no a direct swap without ECU, etc..

you're better off selling your car and buying what you want.

Thank you all very much.
Actually my engine went to hell and since my vehicle has a rebuilt title, I don't think Mazda would like to take care of it.
I want to replace the engine with an used one.

Well, let Mazda figure that out first before you go buying an engine.
