PLEASE HELP! RUSS!!!

okay im swapping out an engine for a buddie.he has a 1987 b2000. he was given a b2200 engine for nothing and its missing toomany parts to make work since some things on the block arent the came.heres my question.We found a 1992 mazda b2200 that is fuel injected and its complete in a truck. Can i take the intake off and put his B2000 intake and exhaust on this engine w/o modifications? or can the head be removed and the b2000 head be put on to make the swap easier? any help advice would be great. thanks. oh yeah we could swap everything out but were trying to avoid going to a referee station to get it recertified for smog. thanks

While I'm not Russ, perhaps I can offer something. Because the other motor is fuel injected, you may need to swap the cam/cams too. Carb and F.I. cams have different profiles. If your intake and exhaust manifolds fit, cool!

bump

yes the intake will fit and work

the only difference between a b2000 and b2200 block is the deck height. I have a B2000 motor with B2200 intake, engine accys and everything.

Yes you can use the EFI engine and just switch the intakes and the distributors. You can even send me the efi intake if you like! I'll pay the shipping.

Swap the whole truck over to efi if you can afford the downtime, its well worth it. Its not a really difficult swap to do especially if you have a complete fuel injected parts truck at hand. The swap makes the little mazda move along nicely, its still no powerhouse mind you but it will outrun the same truck with the stock carberation setup. A couple guys from my club have made the efi swich and love it. Are you actually wanting the 2200efi manifold or any other 2200 efi mazda pieces Russ? If so hit me up, we are regularly parting out Mazdas so theres efi parts up for grabs from time to time. I'm in Canada so our trucks were efi in the 2200 for the last 2 production years(92-93) I'd be glad to help you out if I can.

are you sure? hmm cause the first 2200 engine that we got has a the waterpump in a diferent location. like the original is in the center with the lower water outlet that has the port for the water to to water heater. the 2200 engine that he got has the waterpump on the right (if faceing the front). and the wateroutlet is different on the new engine. no provision for the bube to go to the heater core. and none of the timing covers will swap over. since his new engine is missing all of them. but since this other engine thats efi and is 100% percent complete. your saying it will work?from what i see the blocks are not 100% the same. even the new waterump i bought for the 2200 that was given to him looked different than the 2000 engine i removed. so before i go out and tell him to go buy this 1992 2200 complete efi engine. your 100% sure all his carb and exhaust will fit? sorry for all this i just want to be 100% sure so he doesnt waste his money on buying this whole truck. thanks

oh yeah do you want me to post 2 pics of the differences?.... well illl go take pics any way,... lol that way everyone can see what im talking about

If you look on the side of the efi head towards the rear you will see that there is a blockoff plate for the mechanical fuel pump that is not used with the efi system. This tells you that it is the same head that the carberated trucks had. My room mate has his 87 converted to efi and is still using his stock 87 long block.

the timing covers will be different because of the deck height. Same with the water pump and timing belt hardware. These differences dont mean the engine wont work, just that there are engine specific parts. The F2 is a longer stroke FE motor, it is essentially the same block with a taller deck. The would not redesign the block for this, in fact the earlier B2000 timing chain motors are still the same block as the timing belt B2000 engines, just diffferent timing hardware and a different head.

Like I said, I have an FE in my F2 truck. As long as you use the hardware apporpriate to each engine (use the FE engine mounts, the F2 front engine accys) the swap is a bolt in. The likely differences in the water outlet is maybe the engine is from a 626 that was transverse mount.

Post your pics, I would like to see what is causing your concern... Take some pictures of the drivers side of the blocks too.
