lol..damnit...the word makes sense but i guess i will be more specific...before aaron bans me for not doing so :hides:

Modification Ability:
- Exterior accessories
- Lift kits (already found a decent one)
- Motor work (always lookin for more powars! muahaha!)


Its a tossup between a B-series or just saying f-it and getting a nice ford fullsize pickup. Styling and mods being the main factors...i know about how horrible my fuel situation is and i've made peace with it.

Theres a bunch of Ontario guys on MazdaB Scene. http://mazdabscene.com/forums/index.php

Probably the best modification you can do is the F2T engine swap from the MX-6 GT's. My buddy put down 280 ft/lbs for torque and 203 whp with his MX-6 GT.
Or make the truck realiable and swap a rotary in it.

That would go like hell in a B!

Yeah actually in Austrailia the B series trucks did have a crew cab 4 door. It was the B2600 4x4.
I want to import a RHD B2600i 4x4 from Japan for a winter beater

I'm also on the lookout still for an extended cab B2200 in good shape....haha probably not going to happen.

Yeah actually you could, just put the B2200 tranny in the RX-7 and bolt the F2T motor to it.

Then wire it up

Any engine will fit in any car with enough money.

I seen a 500 Cui Cadillac Front Wheel Drive motor in the back of a Volkswagen station-wagon looking car. THAT was crazy fast.

I have a b2200, word of advice, if you can find one with an fuel injection get it, the OEM carb's are crap on all B series Trucks.

rangers and bseries are identical after 1992 or something.

Unless you mean an F-150?

I think the "best" fullsize in general is the GM/chevy pickups. They seem to last forever and are nice to drive.
