Not sure why it was originally done, but we are where we are.. and if it was still an original rear engine 3.0 Porsche engine i would have paid quadruple the amount for it. They way i see it, cheaper running costs!

200sx engine could be fun, but again mating issues to the rear axle...

Is that the shared Ford / Mazda engine?
If so I know someone who has used it in the back of his Nova who may have some advice one way or t'other

How about the 2.0 ST ford engine (duratec)? This would need a new bell housing to fit to the type 9 gear box from the Sierra but I'm sure it's possible???

Thoughts?
