Hey everybody!
I'm new to THIS community though I have been on numerous other car sites before and someone may have seen me. I live in houston TX. Have an 87 mazda b2k as well as 8 other vehicles..... I plan on making a show truck of this b2k and so far i have started by rebuilding the engine.
I originally bought the truck for 700 bucks from a kid because he seized the engine. He said when he got it checked out the guy said a piston siezed in the block and it would cost 700 to fix it. It was the crank siezed in the block, not a piston.... Either way, a full rebuild and overhaul was done with forged internals and all to maybe have a bit of fun with.
The truck will be going through stages. So far the engine has been done, next will be the suspension and body drop.... I want to lay rockers on 20's or higher. I have all the tools needed to do it and the skills necessary. I have worked on a few bagged trucks before and was a main sorce of info for problems on the mightyd50 site. I love this little truck, a nice extended cab 5 speed to lay out with blue over white is the way i want her... My only problem is getting the money, hence little steps. Any thing you can tell me that could help would be greatly appreciated, I dont know much about these trucks and am willing to learn.

Still dont expect much. Stock they are sub-90 hp. To have fun with the stocker, its gotta be boosted, or a lot of money dropped into it. Or just do a weekend swap with a V-engine and call it done. (not to mention, you can find used V8s for cheap as hell) Just dont expect a 13 second truck...
