G2 Racer

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.

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.

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.
