those are very common swaps in the older mazdas like mine because they are a direct bolt in.

I think your referring to the pre 84 mazdas right?

Yep.This thing was set up with an HKS intercooler,the Merkur 5 speed,etc,etc,and the rest of the truck was totally stock.Talk about ur ultimate sleeper.I bet the thing would do 14's or 15's in the quarter.How would u like to get ur doors blown off by a stock looking 87 Mazda longbed.Lol.BJ
