OH, Yeah! I remember those, thanks!

The Search Begins....

yea and good luck finding 1 running and cheap.... thats HARD

The majority of REPUs seem to be here in the Northwest. The REPUs all came in to the US via the port of Seattle. Just my 2 cents.

I got my 74 running with custom gauges, rebuilt motor, dellorto, light flywheel, rx7 5 speed and electronic distributor, header and dual exhaust, camper shell, and an attraction to surface rust for $900.

Jumped on it. Restoration is going very nicely. I've become friends with POR-15's Metal Ready derust spray.

These trucks ARE hard to find. Most of the owners neglected or abused the trucks. Us rotorheads seem to be the only ones that appreciate them.

Incase anyone cars, 10.90sec Mazda truck. Rotary ofcourse. As you can it has the R100 lights and grill.

I cant down load that vid cus im on dial up and it will take forever. but im pretty sure its a UTE, those have all been rotary swapped, so they arent authentic, but they are still really cool.

Oh, really?. I never knew that. Sorry.

does anyone know of any websites that talk about swapping a rotary into a B2200?

Yea you US guys were the only ones out of any of us to get the REPU lucky bast**** :patriot:

A bloke down heres got something similar to what you want to do, he's got a 13B Bridgeport in B1600 ute, I'll see if I can find some build-up details on it for you.

1974 REPU w/ approx. 125k miles on chassis, 4speed, brakes cylinders rust/leaking, 50k miles used factory rebuilt engine (13b out of my friends RX4-installed from running car and never got around to finishing) white w/ very straight body. all original except someone stole the bench seat, have cherry grill and headlamp doors-interested?
