First off, sorry if this is the wrong forum but it's the only one I see the topic really fitting in.

I thought of this idea a little while ago and never really thought to look into till now. Wondering if anyone has heard of, seen or has any info what so ever of swapping a 13B-T from an FD into a 94+ B2300 pick up? IS this even possible?

I think it would make for a hell of a sleeper and generally just be damn cool.

 

pretty much anything's possible if u have the know how. racing beat did a b2200, '86 i think it was.

 

yeah it's done all the time, piece o cake. just need the engine, trans and driveshaft. the second picture had a supercharged triple under the hood, unfortunately i couldn't find a picture of the engine bay

 

Thanks for the pics.
No has any info or anything though?
I guess I should grab all the parts from an FB or FD that's been wrecked.

 

Dan Atkins has done it and can give you good info on it. PM him.

 

Do you have his user name?

 

I believe it's AtkinsDan

 

quite a few people in new zealand and australia have done it. i think there was two at the last show i went to.

 

The 94+ is actually a Ford product. That means they moved the exhaust to the other side, IIRC. Perfect for rotary application.

The tranny might even be similar to the rib cage tranny used on Turbo RX-7 models. Perhaps a simple swap of the bell housing is in order, then just weld engine mounts to the cross member and you're golden.

93 and earlier Mazda trucks are authentic Mazda. The exhaust exits on the driver's side and the fuel tank is on the passenger. That requires some creative exhaust work... It's gonna be especially hard on me since I have a front driveshaft (4wd) to deal with, right at where rotary exhaust would go.
