I am wondering if you think it would be possible to drop my 1978 Datsun 280ZX 2.8L inline six into my 1992 Mazda B2200. By a measurements look... its possible, but I dont know if the diff, and frame would put up with that kind of power... it is carbureted so I dont need to worry about a EFI, however I do not know if the cables, electrical, or motor mounts will work. I also have no idea if the 5-speed manual will fit. Please leave your thoughts on the subject.

Anything is possible.

How mechanically inclined are you?

not just mechanically, but how welding/cutting/custom fabricating inclined are you...? it might be a good bit of work to make it go, but i've seen rb20's in mazdas in the stock pre-aussie facelift engine bays (the facelift ones had a core support that was shaped differently, adding 2-5 inches of space at the radiator)...
