will this engine fit
 

Hi I've got a Mazda 5 l8 engine which has blown. But I can't get a replacement but I have found a 2.0 lf from a Mazda 6, just wanted to check before I buy it that it will go in my Mazda 5.

I have searched and searched but can see no reference to Mazda ever using a 1.8 in that year model. Here is a link to decode your VIN. Is it possible that a different engine was installed prior to you purchasing it? Is it possible that the hood was replaced and has incorrect info?

The engine is a L8

1.8 L (L8-DE, L8-VE)

The 1.8 L (1,798 cc (109.7 cu in)) version has an nearly-square 83.0 mm (3.3 in) bore and a 83.1 mm (3.3 in) stroke. Output is 125 hp (93 kW) at 6000 rpm with 122 lb·ft (165 N·m) of torque at 4250 rpm.

In 2001, Ford introduced its first European Ford engine to use gasoline direct injection technology, badged SCi (Smart Charge injection) for Direct-Injection-Spark-Ignition (DISI).[1] The range will include some turbocharged derivatives, including the 1.1-litre, three-cylinder turbocharged unit showcased at the 2002 Geneva Show.[1] The 1.8 L was the first European Ford engine to use direct injection technology, badged SCi for Smart Charge Injection. This appeared in the Mondeo in 2003 and is today available on the 2.0 L engine as well.

The SCi engines were designed at Ford's Cologne, Germany facility and are assembled in Valencia, Spain. The SCi engine is paired with a specially designed six-speed manual transmission.

European 1.8 L and 2.0 L Duratec HE engines are built at the Valencia Engine Plant in Spain. Duratec FFV is a flex fuel version of the 1.8 L Duratec-HE modified to run on E85 fuel. 1.8L Focus C-Max and Focus Mk II versions use a drive-by-wire throttle to improve responsiveness.

Ford's versions are rated at 92 kW (123 hp) at 6000 rpm and 165 N·m (122 lb·ft) of torque at 4500 rpm with a 10.8:1 compression ratio.

It sounds like the 2.0 was just a modified 1.8. It will probably fit but it's hard to say for sure. Intake/exhaust/injectors will likely have to be swapped.
