Daeman,

I just noticed you are in Australia....land of the Mazda E2000, Bongo, and 929!

I may have to hit you up for some hard to find Bongo parts!

I usually find most of my Bongo / E2000 parts on Ebay Australia but they are few and far between.

I'm sorry in advance this is kind of a thread jack but... Has anyone ever used a f2t and just cut out some of the firewall to accommodate for the backwards head? I mean I don't know how far it would stick back but if it wasn't too far it wouldn't be to big of deal (people hack the hell outta firewalls for rotarys)
Idk guys I'm bored... Sorry for the thread jack.

Hey Fred, anything is possible with the right time and money lol. But the f2t should, as orange was saying, have the right spot for the dizzy at the front of the head as per our trucks. Just needs to be milled out and have a rwd cam fitted. Less work than hacking your firewall, and a neater result.
The other thing to take into account on an f2t us that the inlet manifold has the throttle body facing the gearbox. You could either modify the manifold so the rear end is blocked and the tb is on the front end, or go custom.
Check out jenko's build for ideas and inspiration when it comes to making a fwd motor fit in a rwd.

And again, sorry for getting off topic mike.
