2.0 and 2.3 Mazda3 differences

I got a 2.3 Mazda3, and I was going to buy a cheap mazda 3 for parts but it turns out this one is a 2.0. Any idea if parts will fit on my 2.3

The 2.0 and 2.3 are more or less compatible, but if you want a better motor, buy a 2.5 liter Ford Duratec (they're cheap, plentiful, more powerful, and way more reliable than the 2.3).

Many parts will fit, but then again many others will not. It will be hit or miss.

My money says the parts you need for your 2.3 will not be the same on the 2.0. Just how the world works these days.
