Part number/fitment search
Greetings,
Anyone in Australia have access to Mazda part numbers/diagrams or to salvage yards?
I'd like to find out if I can bolt a Mazda Bravo/Ford Courier Diesel engine to an earlier style transmission, or a Mazda RX-7 2nd Gen (Series 4 or 5 1986-1991) Turbo transmission.
It's a long shot, but perhaps someone has one of these vehicles laying about or knows someone that does. Just a few measurements or a photo would be good.
(Longer description)
Here in the states, they don't produce small trucks with diesel engines. The smallest truck I can get equipped with a diesel engine is a Ford F250. I like my small pickup truck, but Diesel engines can be run on other fuels like vegetable oil.
The Mazda B series pickup (What they call the Bravo here.) up until 1993 was produced by Mazda and imported from Japan. 1994 and after, It is produced by Ford. It is completely different than the B-Series and Ford Courier sold in Australia.
My 1989 B2600i truck has a 2.6L 4cyl petrol engine. (G6 type. That engine should have been available in Australia as well.) The transmission is similar to the RX-7's aside from gear ratios. (Bellhousings are interchangable.)
I'm trying to find out if I can bolt the Bravo Diesel engine up to my existing transmission and if I'll need a new ballhousing or if I can use my current one.
I'd rather not import the engine and find out that it won't fit.
Thanks.
