i don't have a clue yet. hahaha. i have actually bought some parts for the 83 from the dealer before (about 2 years ago) so i may be able to go to the dealer but for the most part i will be looking online and at autoparts stores.

i live in lorena, and sometimes andersons has some older stuff out there, and talked to the uncle today bout the diesel, he was a tech at the mazda dealership in waco in the late 70's to the early 90's, and he said the diesel made NO power at all, he said you couldnt pay him to take one, lol, but i think it would be cool cuz its different

Well here you go buy this one. I think they want to much money for it. Quoted from their page "RF TURBO MAZDA DIESEL ENGINE (can be use for Mazda B2200 & B2000) $ 1,750.00". Here is the link to the page also

lol i was originally thinking about a procharged 4.3 the power to weight ratio would be insane but i am really leaning towards the diesel because of how few there are in the scene.
