Yes it will. Check for some swaps on www.mazdatruckin.com

I thought you had to modify the bellhousing some, nothing real major. Thats why I put yes and no. Time to find another Starion.

That is insain. Now I might be buying a Mazada B 2200 and swaping in a 13B n/A from a second gen as a beater for next yera instead of a Volvo lol.

yes

What kind of mods have to be done to make it all work?

What do you think the total cost of doing a rotary swap in a b 2200 would be?

i thought u had to swap the bellhousing with one from an rx4 or t2 tranny.

are the gear ratios good for a rotary? i mean the engine the b series have are tuned for low end

You have to get the one from a Mazda B2600. It has the removeable bell housing, put the T2 or RX-4 one in with slight modifications and you are good to go. Supposedly it's a good tranny and a lot of budget racers use them. Same splines as a T2 also.

rotary crazy

are gear and pinion sets available for these truck to change the final gear ratio?

How much does this cost to do? Can I do it in my garage with limited tools lol ( I am creative). I need a beater truck and rotaries are good

Just use the T2 tranny as I did, you'll need a new driveshaft.....I've been working on mine in my own garage for 2+ years, I don't have a lot of free time. It can be done realitively cheap, but you will need a welder and some creativity it is not just drop it and go.

I wonder what dif ratios you can find for this , since the oem one is like a 3.60 or something, this is a proyect I love to do someday

It's the Mazda model R (Type III) transmission. It's used in everything. Hell, even Ford uses it in the F150 and Ranger.

depends on what year, 93 and on is all ford, and i believe 84 and down ford courier is all mazda, and i imagine that there are plenty of different gear ratios used in the mazda trucks, i believe the early 80's version had interchangeable ring and pinion gears with the fb's... so then you could have what? a 3.9 i think?
