87 Mazda B2000 project, DONE!!!

looks awsome

Not a picture update, but...
I swapped out the manual 5 speed tranny for a 4 speed automatic. I have to attatch the tranny cooler lines to the radiator and get the drive shaft taken care of because of the difference in length, but then it should be ready to run. A side note, the bell housings on the b2000 and b2200 are different, but going from a 2000 to a 2200 will work. All the holes line up except the top 2. I checked with a tranny guy I know, and he said it would be fine without those. They are so close to the next bolt, its kinda silly that there are 4 bolts on the top. Anyway, everything else went as smooth as possible on a body dropped truck. I did have to jack the body up a couple inches to allow for room to get the bolts out then back in. As soon as I get it driving I am pulling motor parts of for chrome and getting started on the interior and stereo. Sosa is already working on the door panels and I am hoping for a big stereo sponsor to pull through with some product this week. Keep your fingures crossed. The plan is to have the truck 99% complete at the FFF show in less than 2 weeks.

Sweeeet! ! I can't wait to see the interior <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" />

cool cool man

truck looks killer man. sorry if i already over looked it but just got a couple ?'s on the juice set up.
just wondering what bore/stroke those cylinders are and whats the maximum psi? what psi are those pumps running? and what size is the hardline you ran? I'm a noob when it comes to hydros but i would like to try my hand at something very similar but most likely a one pump 4 dump. close up pics of pumps/ returns etc. would be appretiated also!!! thx alot!

The hydro setup is a standard 2 pump 4 dump. Pressures run less than 3000psi in normal setups. The hardline is .035 wall stainless steel. It is rated for 6000psi. A one pump 4 dump setup is (don't take this wrong) dumb. The only way to work it is to lift the rear of the truck all the way before the front will start lifting. You could run a one pump 5 dump and do a little better, but on trucks you need to run 2 pumps for a decent setup. The weight difference between the front and rear is too much. It will dump faster in the front that the rear because of the weight difference and only having 1 slow down. Check out or myspace.com/hydroholicsllc for all the parts used on my truck.
