G will know the details but isn't it basically a Zetec anyway???
If so it should walk in on its own.
I'd need to check the details in my 'library' but off the top of my head:
provided it is a Mk3 or later, then the engine can, technically, be said to be a Ford engine ( or at least have a large Ford input under the technology sharing deal the two companies used to have)
I've seen reports where the swap has been done, but the ones I've read about have done it using a Type 9 gearbox (Ford Sierra) and a custom prop
It seems that in money terms, a lot of people go with a Zetec out of an ST170 or a Duratec 2.0 or 2.3 which are of course much more powerful and much more tuneable engines than the Zetec
Still, if you already have the mazda lump this might put a different angle on it
