Compared to the ecoboost the Mazda setup is less then ideal.
You will have to bridge mount the engine.
I would consider use of an ecoboost setup. Though Chris Brooks at hp tuners can likely unlock your PCM.
The plumbing sux. The oil pan situation to use an unlifted 4x4 is not easy.
They are cool engines. But suck to work on.
