I "DID" have to make some minor trimming adjustments to the 2nd 
generation block to prevent interference.

1) On the oil filter pedestal I had to shave some of the corner off the 
"inboard" part of the pad next to the bolt hole. The mistral has a 
radius here that the mazda does not. Once the corner is radiused, it 
worked ok.

2) on one of the tabs sticking up on the inboard portion of the 
"backplate - Mistral's term" or "front iron" as we call it.. I had to 
grind off 1/2" or so of material so that the front secondary tube could 
lay low and i could mount the intake completely. I only used this tab 
for lifting with a hoist anyways, so its a non-issue.

3) No instructions included. Also.. there are no tubing included for the 
oil injection.. and the old primary ports on the middle iron are left 
unaddressed by this intake order. In the Mistral they appear to be 
additional oil injection ports. This is being queried in email.
