84 B2000 Mazda 302V8 Swap Project

Made up some two part mounts that worked really well. flat plate bolted to engine mount holes and a gusseted bracket that will be welded to the frame. the holes that match the two are slotted allowing final positioning of motor, they are made from 5/16" thick steel using grade 8 bolts. I will put a solid 1/4 section of rubber between them before tightening down.

mounts tek screwed in place ready to weld

Nice progress! Now you just need to change your thread title to 84 mazda v8 swap!

complete AC and Heating system for sale or trade. not putting it back in. interior stripped out and floor sealed. dash cluster removed will be making custom panel for after market gauge setup. engine bay ready for motor as soon as I get my new oil pan.

interior

lots of OEM parts I won't be using. if you need something let me know and I WILL SEE IF I HAVE IT. looking FOR SOME BASIC DRESS UP STUFF, MUFFLERS, gauges, shifter, cable gas pedal.......

HELL YES!!!! motor in in lined up with my fabricated mounts perfect. trans mount should be a piece of cake. next hurdle in radiator and fan setup. any suggestion of what to look for at the parts yard?

That looks really nice and clean. I actually really like the matching block and engine bay color. Keep the updates and pictures coming. Whats your plans for the interior?

Nice work JP! I hope you don't mind, I moved this to the member projects section and changed the title so more people check out your build!

Thanks Baha glad you did. Hope I am doing stuff that can help someone else. It's been a lot of work cutting, grinding, and shaping everything but the engine sits in there not touching anything but the mounts.

Anyone have a suggestion for a radiator that has the outlets in the correct position and will fit the general support area. That is the next step when I hit the junk yard. Need to get a C4 yoke as well for the driveshaft.

I am working on a dash panel to house all the aftermarket gauges. Think I will leave the ac and heat out of it. really opens up the floor area. Have a couple comfortable cloth buckets out of a Cavalier. will build a center console as well.
