I think I did this backwards. I bought the engine first, now I need a truck.
I purchased a Mazda 2.0L turbodiesel (RF-CDT) from a Japanese Mazda Bongo. Local place had a bunch of them come in, but they didn't exactly fly off their shelves. Offered about half of what they were asking and took it home - couldn't pass on the price.
It has been sitting in my garage for about 5 months, but in that time I've been able to sort out the wiring and got it up and running on a test stand. I've been sourcing the bits and pieces I'll need to complete a swap (various sensors that weren't included) and now I'm at the point where I need a truck to drop it into.
Going to keep my eye open for a plus cab on Craigslist. Until then I'll be browsing around these great forums and getting myself up to speed on the B-series trucks. Only owned Dodge and Jeep trucks so I'm getting into new territory here.
