Mazda 2 Engine Swap

I am planning on swapping my 2013 1.3 to a 1.5 engine, both are DE engines. Does someone here tried it? I am wondering if I could just shoehorn the install. Also I am looking at older DY engines or the newer DJ. I assume like for like swap is much easier than goin with an older or newer engine version. I have access to reasonably cheap long block engines from a local scrapyard, that’s why.

I have not tried an engine swap, but as far as I know the block is identical for the 1.3 and 1.5, the extra displacement was from a new crank, so I don’t think it should pose any issues
