B2000 drift truck build

Trans is mounted. Not positive on the forward back location, but I can still adjust it.

The motor is LOW. Hopefully I wont have to modify the oilpan, But I can If I need to. This motor is taller than stock and I want to keep it under the hood with the body drop.

I should have taken more measurements with the cab on. Im not sure about the front crossmember height in relation to the lower radiator support.

Low low. Just right.



might be enough clearance. Its sitting on the sway bar. Might re mount it to the rear.



trans mount





motor has a little slant to it. Im guessing for intake length.

dang man looking good.

Looks good man keep it up. Are you goin to build a driveshaft and keep the maz rear end? Swap to limited slip?

staying mazda solid axle for now. Ill weld up the diff.


HELP! Does anyone know the size of the round head on the center pins in the rear leaf springs? The head side of the bolt that goes in the spring perch on the axle. I forgot to measure them when I had them out.

Im going to try to make some blocks today If I have time, but I dont know what size to drill them.
