---------------------------------------------Originally posted by PuzlfkdI took a civic chassis and put it under the body of my b2000 to make mine front wheel drive. It took a lot of work to brace it right but it will be worth it when it is all done. It has all factory wiring and mounts. You could front half it with a honda front end. That would give you the engine  mounts and the axles and mounting points for the suspension.--------------------------------------------- You did this? Do you have pictures of this truck?

Thank GOD bout time someone posted the right thing...

Why in the world you you want to make it FWD? With all the RWD otions that are available at a 1/16 of the cost?Even if you got it for free it would not be worth it al the work to make it work.I put a 12a motor on a b2000 and all I had to modify was ONE engine mount. That was it.

what other motor can you put into a b2000 meaning newer or even the b2200 series. I have a motor that needs to be rebuilt but looking to just drop one in. Or looking for a cheap place to buy a reman.
