10k is a duramax diesel swap.
10k isnt going to make that motor anything close to 12 seconds in the 1/4. Ok. It's a DAMN clean engine, I'll give him that, its one of, if not THE cleanest mazda f2 engine I have ever seen. 1. Its not in the truck, and 2, its not running. But its not worth 10k. Would u buy a stock '86 b2000 for 25k? I dont think so.
I'd say that motor is a 2 to 3k, tops.
btw, if u wanted power, and did research, you'd get that tranny from the 2600s thats NOT the same as the b2000, 2200, and 2600i. Its the mitsubishi tranny, and get a 4g63 mitsu turbo engine, and BOLT it in. I had a gsx that was WELL capable of over 500 hp. And this can be done for WELL under 4k. BUT.....like u say, to eash his own. "THE BADDEST 2.2 ON THE PLANET" is NOT this motor, and its NOT a 10k engine.
I wish him the best, make sure under the hood matches the engine, and it'll be a CLEAN ride.
Just dont line up with guys who have 3 to 5k under the hood.
