Well this weekend I came into a clean B2200 that is in need of an engine.. Plus I was looking for a truck body to put the stroker v8 I have in my old Ford Ranger....I have heard of the conversion kit from Ultimatecustom.ca but their site is dead so I am gonna ask for a copy of the instructs if anyone has them..

Also can I get measurements from the engine mount pad to the front x-member and any tips those who have done a V8 conversion can come up with...

Look for pics as I start on this project...I am in parts gathering mode that I don't have on the Ranger....

at summitracing.com they have engine swap headers and mounts for the ranger for a small block ford. but for the mazda i dont know if they are close enough for the mazda or not.
