Ford 2.5 swap

Hey guys, new here and looking for information on using the Ford Escape 2.5 l engine. I have heard that the MX-5 guys are using these engines and I have a brand new 2010 engine I would like to use. My questions are about reflashing the PCM to eliminate drivability problems like switching to a 5 speed from auto etc.. My other concern, or not, is the Atkinson cycle, is that going to be a drivability problem? can it be eliminated through programming? This will be going into a very lite car at 1600 lbs.
Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated.

Can you do this 2.5 swap on the automatic NC1?

Yes, auto or manual can be done to 2.5.
