which motors fit?

did u say the b2200 tranny's will bolt to it.. the kia motor?most of them are 4x4 i been looking at...thanks

hulk thats what ive heard a couple times already is that the trans bolts up! thats what had me so interested.

the kia sportage motor (mid to late 90's) are a detuned version of mazda's fe3 motor... some closed off water/oil circulation areas and a detuned/unchipped ecu or something like that to run it... keeps it from being the completely fabled fe-3 motor... but ive heard its not all that hard to open up the water/oil jackets and really get that thing to put out some power... there is a turbo'd fe-3 from australia with sweet ass flat deck that is just wicked crazy on the motor setup...

91extcab thank you for your info! and any other info you give! looks like you've been doing this a while? LOL

i've looked into some stuff... i dont know everything, and i've had to find out some things on my own, while asking others for help (shout outs: T-o-Double-D, MazdawgMikey, Hunter, Mazdaman82, tuckin20s (tavis), BaggdB2200 (peter), SnoPlow (R.I.P.), NC4Life (Chuck), Mazdalowandslow (Ryan), mazdaspeeddemon (Chris), PapaRoach, Rufus, immortal1 (linn), Glen Pruett and hmm.... like everyone else on this site i have talked to and asked questions of, or discussed options with that i didnt name...) The members on this site have a lot of information and knowledge between them... i'd have to say atleast several hundred to thousands years experience combined overall with mazdas, and mini trucks in general.

oh leland.......you have NO idea how much im gonna be bugging you in the future for info LOL.

as of MAZDAMAN82 i knew he was infamous.........er i mean helpful.

i had seen some show coverage photos in a mini truckin issue like 4 or 5 years ago and it had me really confused and totally baffled and the mental image i had of that truck drove me crazy for about 3 years until i met him on here to find out i had been talking to him for some months before us somehow coming onto the topic of this truck that i had seen in a mag, knew nothing about, and had been talkin about it in chat i think, and come to find out it belonged to him... and yeah... then came all the questions... lol

^^^^thats funny
