How do you know it's blown exactly? Flames don't necessarily mean it's blown.

Search for TII swap it's been talked about tons of times.

Flames out the back on a non warmed up engine sounds quite odd...

I think a Turbo II motor swap would be a waste.

If it's actually blown, sure it would be a nice swap.

Its probably not blown, the flames were probably the the gas that the engine dumped into the exaust from a bad flood igniting.

If your really worried about it being blown, then take to to a rotary shop, or a mazda dealership and get a compression check.
