I don't see why it won't work as long as you can hook up all the sensors in the correct position, i presume the bare block is the same, just what's bolted to it is differant?
I've not heard of anyone doing this conversion otherwise i'd point you in the right direction, like you i've not had much dealing with Mazdas before.

Im also interesting in swaping gearbox. I have RF5C, 5speed. I heard that it is possible, but than I have to change clutch and flywheel. So for my English...

My car also used to eat a lot of oil. I had to change washers under fuel injectors. Mazda designed them very thin. It started around 120t km.

From the information I have. The engine design was changed 2005 as from this date was the first time Mazda had put the DPF on. It was their first experiment! The injector seals are a service item and should be replaced every 120,000 miles, along with the injectors. My original injector seals were still good at 165,000 miles before I changed then and the original injectors only really started to cause exhaust smoke at 175,000 miles. But I had the car from new and have had it meticulously serviced.
