Another New Engine Thread

Ok, heres the kicker, I just got the car 3 weeks ago and the engine was going strong until I got into an accident. Someone hit my drivers side door and messed up a buncha ****. Anyways, it would start so the place I chose to fix it towed it to mazda to see if there was something wrong with it, and aparently I need a new engine.

So my question to this board is that if they drop a new engine into it will they put a referb 2004-2008 Ren into it, or will they put the new 09 Ren II into it? I've heard the new engine has a third oil injector that makes the engine almost bulletproof. I asked the techs at the mazda dealership but aparently they have no freaking idea whats going on... so I decided to ask on here

Thanks in advance!
