OLD SKOOL b2000

This is my 87 mazda b2000. Traded a cb750 motor for it. Was in pretty good condition body wise, but the motor was burning oil and the clutch was toast. After joining the site, i got the ambition to actually do something with this pickup and plan on soon havin a fun weekend, mess around pickup. Satin black was done by a buddy of mine, along with the mexican drug rug interior

Suspension: (im cheap)
4" blocks
removed torsion bars

Engine/trans:
rebuilt 406 c.i. small block chevy
stock bottom end
weiand single plane high rise
carter 750cfm 4 barrel carb
Turbo 350 trans

Motor and trans went in great, no modifications to the firewall or trans tunnel necessary. Tranny mounts lined up perfect with the stock crossmember moved to the closest mounting holes. As you can see mounting a radiator and electric fans will be very tight. Traction is going to be a serious issue but what the hell, its just gona be a fun little truck, wasnt lookin to break any 1/4 mile times or anything.

Way it looked before

Nice lil project you got going man.

You may consider mounting the radiator in the bed with some fans on it.

any new progress bro

Got the 600 cfm holley 4bbl on it and fired it up. Lookin for vortec manifolds so I don't dump my exhaust straight down on the xmember like my manifolds now are. Need a driveshaft and radiator yet

Today i got the cigarette outlet wired up as a push button start, still maintaining the lighter for the button. Looks very clean and cool. Also stitched some burlap sacks together to use as a tonneau cover. It really matches the theme this pickup is goin for. Will try and get some pics up later
