- I got the truck 1.5 years ago, already SBC swapped, just not done very well. The motor mounts were sketchy, the tires rubbed, there was no front cross member, and it barely ran and made little power when it did. I rebuilt the motor and changed cam/intake/heads.
I redid the motor mounts, wrapped the headers, and painted the engine bay. I also got rid of the automatic transmission and swapped in a t56 manual, I also swapped out the stock rear end for a Ford 8.8 with disc brakes, 3.73s, and LSD.
I also cleaned up the bed and redid it with bedliner and reworked the welded in tailgate.
The truck runs great and I have no issues hopping in and driving an hour away if I need to, I know it'll make it.
Nice job! I have a 1990 extended cab b2200. I got it from a guy that thought the original engine had a blown head gasket so he sold it to me for $600. I had a 350 from a late 80s van that needed a home so the truck was perfect! I had recently built a TH350 for another project that never happened so the two were mated up. I have a friend with a shop so during my one week vacation, I did the swap. I modified the firewall with some new sheet metal and set the engine back a few inches so the oversized radiator sits on the stock location. I also narrowed an 8.8 from an explorer so the center section isn't off set but did relocate the fuel tank for exhaust clearance. I slipped a lunch box locker in the differential for added traction. I ended up ditching the power steering by simply making sure there was fluid in the box and looping the hydraulic line. With a fuel cell in the bed that pretty much "finished" this ongoing project! Minis with V8s are a lot of fun! Pretty cool seeing how other projects like yours turned out!
Man thats great make more about it 👍
Nice GT steering wheel you have on there
Any idea if there is a motor mount conversion kit or what they used to mount it all?
Awsome video
What were the measurements for the motor mounts
Awesome
Wicked
What size tire and rim does you use on the truck
Yo tengo una mazda b2200 89 y quiero iniciar también un proyecto asi algun consejo que me darías
What are the wheel and tire specs on it? Trying to decide what set up to go with for my b2200
Good question
You just have the stock radiator in or did you replace it?
Clean setup how differential, did you shorten it thanks
Didn't have to shorten the axle tubes or anything, just had to narrow the leaf spring perches.
Bro i put the same electric steering on my truck, but when i turn the steering wheel not returns, you have the same problem? If You can help me i appreciate that
1. How fast have you had it. And 2. Can you please dm me idk of you can on here but I was planning the same build and now that somebody has done it I'd like some pointers to help me with the build.
Will you have photos of the engine mounts, if you can send me a message I would appreciate it
What rear end you got under it ?
Sooooo, where you located.. i need you to do mine😅😂😂😂
what did you do for motor mounts?
Ebay solid motor mounts and custom brackets to attach to the framerails.
What transmissión
T56 out of a 94 Camaro.
Whoever did the angled playes fucked up.
History is from a mini builder, its supposed to tilt left making it harder to read but following law still.
Also, it should be centered, and turned counter clockwise by 15 degrees.
Just tailgate lore tho, also only supposed to go in maybe an inch to 3/4 inch, not half the tailgate
