V8mazda asked what the Bongo engine is/was.Mazda produced a funny looking little van that was never exported to the us to my knowledge.It was a cross between a minivan and a delivery van.Its official name was the "Bongo Friendee" -and dont ask me how that happened cause I aint got a clue.Apparently they cobbled up some 1.8 and 2.2 liter engines with the 2.2 12 valve head with two really notable differences-the distributer is located where the US version of the 2200 bseries motor islocated-on the drivers side front and the Bongo is a fuelie.Makes a pretty potent engine swap if u can find one.I believe some made it to Canada and may have migrated down to Washington state as referenced above.OK class,history lesson is over for the day.Oh and this lesson is based on what little I have learned about the Bongo over the years.I have never seen one.Lol.BJ
