great project I was thinking of doing this my self.

A friend dit it and the only problem was traccion.

I will ask what he dit to the ecu but I do remenber that he use the rx-7 ecu, and I belive he use the rx-7 transmision too.

good luck.

 

thx rotary crazy........ please do ask your friend...

as for traction ... i am in the middle of designin a rear clip for my truck

so i can run 9 or 10 inch wide tires in the rear..... plus a few sand bags in the bed and i think id be okay haha

anyone else have .02 cents?

thx

I am going to see my friends this saturday I will let you now what he tells me.

Sorry I just been busy looking at my car I just put on mazdaspeed 18 inch wheel It looks great!!!!!!!.

Another friend just finish a gread truck he put a 300zx diferential and a silvia engine to a 1970 datsun its really fast best time we got yesterday was 12.8, we get traction whit 10 inch wheels but the lack of weiht in the rear makes lauching very hart ( dam I need a digital camara!).

how is your project coming alon any progres?

 

On the older B2000 stuff, the trannies were more or less interchangable with 1st gen smoothcase trannies. Just keep the truck tailhousing and possibly the gearbox section. But change the bellhousing. Or just use a rex tranny and swap tailshafts. I don't think the driveshaft needs shortening because the point of using the B2000 tailshaft is so the stick comes up through the stock hole, and the distance from diff the tranny is still stock.

Edit: forgot to add that since yours is an '88, I'm not sure if it'll go together like the older style. I'm slightly familier with the '86 B2000.

Yeah but what NA trans has a removable bellhousing? Every smoothcase I've seen is cast as one piece. I wouldn't mind sticking a 13B in the old (84 I think) B2000 my neighbor has.

 

my 81 12a 5 speed bellhousing is removabe. took it off myself. Same with the 80 5 speed in my REPU.

just thought id bring the focus backto what i was askin originally.. haha but thx for the input on trannys... good to know

 

The oldest smoothcase I ever had was like an 83ish and it was one piece. I wish I knew what year they stopped with them.

 

highjacked again!!! dammit hahah

 

If you have the cash get a Haltech. If not you'll need the RX-7 wiring harness and ECU.

 

Uh.. I read that a first gen LSD wil bolt up to the Mazda truck Rear end.. So that should settle that..

 

Sounds like a fun project.
At SevenStock 5 there was a super clean flatbed B2000 dually with a supercharged 20B
