if ya don't know...don't speak
thats not what he is asking..... 
if the new ford/mazda/volvo mazda3 is using the 2.0 FS as a carry-over engine
(instead of the 1.6)
then is the new 2.3 an FS series engine, and or will it retrofit into
the old BJ chassis?
simple question...if you know the answer

so then did the motor mounts change on the 2.0L to fit the new mazda3 chassis
i should say rather
did the location of the mounts change on the 2.0L engine to fit in it's new home

the 2.0L engine in the 3i is NOT the FS-series engine it's a newer Duratec ford deisgn. I made this same mistake also when thinking about it.
Consider the 2.0L engine a de-stroked version of the 2.3L
Thurman, the 2.3L is 160bhp the 2.0L is 148bhp
