Duratec to MX-5 box
Simple question really.
Will the 2.0 litre Duratec bolt straight to the new MX-5 six speed box? I thought the Duratec shared the same bellhousing pattern as the MX-5 engine,
but I'm not sure if I'm remembering right or not.
Cheers all.

Yes... it will fit.
Beware that it puts a slight cant on the engine positioning (can't remember to what side the lean is though).
It's Evolution Baby!

I don't know about the Mazda, but usually the lean is away from the inlet side (more room for long inlet tract etc)
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!
