Don't believe so, no.

Does that mean the new engine is from a global brand, such as Vauxhall/Opel ?  Your reply seems a bit cagey, maybe it's a VX220 motor?

No, because it's a type of engine I'm looking for rather than a make.
It's a little unconventional...

..and Yes.
I believe it must be a Mazda engine, hence my earlier reply.
