Hi Mate , I believe the same engine is fitted in the Galaxy as well post 2005 I think , most of us have the earlier engine as fitted to the Scorpio and early Galaxy .
These are pretty reliable engines, if a little thirsty if driven to the max . One of my mates on here has just fitted a early Galaxy engine to his van and it was by all accounts a real pain , so I have no idea how easy it would be to fit the later Mazda version .
I have got to say it seems you have bought a total dog being honest and that later engine is known to be a bit dubious reliability wise as well .
With somebody having spent £4500+ for an engine that has not lasted 10K I would look to be fitting a 2nd hand Mondeo engine for £200 rather than throw good money after bad , look for threads by Dieselhead he has not been on for a while now but knows his stuff about the various engine swops that are possible good luck
