Project Mazda B5000

New to the Mazda truck scene. Had a bagged ranger a couple years back, then i tried to just get a car and keep it stock for a daily driver....but I couldn't control myself and had to buy another truck to keep myself from tearing into my daily that I am making payments on.

I am not going to have much progress to post for a couple months while i start to gather all the pieces for this build. All I know is that it is going to be low and fast.

Here are a couple pics of what I got so far, the truck had been sitting in a garage for the last couple years, and because i live in Minnesota I am going to have my fair share of rust to deal with. It make u-pull lots rather dissapointing due to all the rot.

Gonna need a new bumper for sure



The new powerplant



I'm glad to have found this forum....there are going to be a ton of question I will need answers for

welcome man, there are a lot of guys on here that will help you out,

come to chat we in there right now

Welcome! What are the other plans besides the motor swap?

yeah man welcome. if you got questions about the 302 let me know man i got one in my truck now too.

Welcome to the site! I love v8s in minis

Besides the swap...definitely airride, some 20's, fully shaved and custom paint. Still undecided on how crazy I want to get because I want to drive the truck and not worry about legality issues. Things tend to get out of hand with me though. I have set a tenitive timeline of completion set at 3 years..

Depending when I get the ultimatum from my girl about getting married or unin
tentionally have a kid...will affect the timeline...

welcome to the scene

another v8 mini is all ways a good thing

RAP THAT RASCAL, nothing kills a project like a baby. build, finish, then make baby. there is no such thing as unintentional, if you can use a fork, you can prevent it.

Just picked up a wc t-5 from a 95 mustang GT

A couple randoms

My daily driver.....it's a mazda
