so i know its been awhile since i've posted here... but today i picked up a near mint condition mazda b2200 ( with a 5 speed ) from an old lady for $150 bucks... motor kinda runs but its tempermental... just decided to run like shit once in a while... so heres the question... anyone ever heard of or seen a pickup like this with a motor swap from an RX7??? just like a simple 13B with a twin turbo imported??? after all... both of them being rear wheel drive... this shouldn't be all that difficult should it??? any advice would be loverly...

ive seen it done. hell you may as well get the IRS from the RX7 as well. 4 wheel negative camber rules

btw, what year Mazdawg you got?

 

[92civicb18b1]

I love that truck, you should meet me half way and sell me that truck for 300 bucks.

Nice truck. Nice swap. I've seen pictures, but never in person...

 

[SiR_crx]

... this truck ain't gettin sold... i'm gonna drive it hard till the stock motor goes... and then i'm gonna order the motor and tranny... not sure where i'll buy it... but this is gonna be one hell of a summer project....

I know its old... I haven't been here in a while...

But, swap the head from a turbo Probe/MX6 and all the goodies over.

Boosted 2200 will make 250/280 ish at the wheels.

2200 = F2.

 

[BodyDroppedNikes]

2200 = F2.

the B2200 was made between 1982 until 1993. the 1982-1985 was diesel and the 1986-1993 used a standard gasoline engine.

His is gas and it will swap.

If it wasn't he wouldn't even be asking these questions.

 

[BodyDroppedNikes]

well like i said, depending on the year depends on what he can do motor wise.

i say fuck it and drop in a 302

 

[sevenhillsbilly]

i had one of these just beat on it till you do the swap and trust me they can take a beating
i cracked the head becasue the radiator had a slow leak and fogot to check it(dumbass move) and i drove it till i shut it off the thing finaly died at 189k

 

[SiR_crx]

its officially mine!!!! and this thing runs like shit.... its so hard to just not go out and jump this thing and total it out... i just wanna commit suicide for driving something so slow... it makes my beat to shit 92' ranger 4-banger look like a formula car....

 

[BodyDroppedNikes]

well why do you think Mazda trucks have the nickname of "Mazdawgs" lol. like i said, drop a 302 in that sumbitch...

 

[mad_hatter]

getting the engine in is cake, driveshaft needs to be adjusted and then wiring is the main issue, go to mazdabscene.com they have a few rotary swaps and what not, i have a 88 im putting a 302 in
