Possible? Definitely. Easy or cheap? No way. Unless you are an extremely skilled fabricator this will get stupidly expensive extremely fast, and even if you are it's still going to be very expensive. With enough time and money, anything is possible, but this project would take a ton of both.

I have to agree. You would (probably) need some serious sponsors that would be willing to pay most of the bill. Then you would have to allow the car to be photographed and shown.
If however, you simply wanted to do the turbo engine swap. That might be something a little more reasonable in cost and time. That would reduce some available of the traction, particularly in foul weather but would also eliminate some of the understeer that comes w/an AWD system too.
Be sure to get the/a Speed6 hood though.

If he gets the speed 6 hood, then he has to do the full front end conversion. IIRC the hood has different lines and will not line up properly with the normal 6 body.

Note to OP....sell your wagon & buy a Speed6 if you really want one that badly. Will be a lot cheaper.

I like the bin with a car and swap it'll be perfect speed6 side performance. This is not a project that has often voice. Here is a picture of what I want but what resemble black mag and no lip at the front.

That is 4 months that I had the idea for this project. I begin to take the info one can everywhere. I still gave 1a2 months to really invest myself in that I have proposed to Tripp. This is not something to make a head shot. But do it with all the info on this project. But I have a boyfriend who loved working there said that Mazda will see if this could be it too many changes for the 4wd rear. Otherwise it should be ok.

So if someone else will have info on this project make me know thank you
