I have a 1992 929 3.0 and the salvage yard tells me the 3.0 from the ford probe is a direct bolt in replacement?? Reason being my girlfriend drove the car until it stopped. I believe the water pump went bad. Car runs and doent sound bad on 80k miles on the car. Not sure what to do, if I should get a used motor or try to work w/this one. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Should work because ford probes use a mazda engine! But make sure with your mechanic

This forum is hopeless for any 929 information. check out Mazdaworld.org.

by the way the engine in the probe is NOT the JE-48 found in the 929.

to the best of my knowledge, the probe was a sister car to the 626 and MX-6, not the 929.
