Spun a bearing :( - so it's time for a dirty dirty swap! :D

General
Well, while I was in Montreal, my motor decided to spin a bearing (or bend a rod - I don't know yet) - so that means motor #3 is toast (this one I can at least rebuild unlike the other two).
I have had enough issues with these motors, so I've decided to do a swap - and make my Mazda RWD! I plan on selling my drivetrain/parts (like literally my whole car expect for the shell) - and once they are sold I will begin!
I'm actually serious about the swap, which is why I'm already sponsored by a body shop for a custom paint and a widebody kit (I'll be rocking 315's in the back (to start at least :D).
I'm not telling you guys what drivetrain/motor I'm putting in at the moment, but I'll be pushing over 500 hp with just a few bolt ons... (and if I throw on a supercharger or turbocharger we are talking way way more ;D)
Right now I'm in my 'research' stage, to see if it is a feasible project. Yes, it will cost me lots, and lots of time too - and yes, there are better cars out there that I can do swaps on. This will be the first swap on a Mazdaspeed 3 though ever (that I'm aware of) :D
If you think it's stupid feel free not to post - haters gonna hate!
