Alright here is the deal im tired of seeing the same old **** in maryland. 16 -20 year olds getting fd and other sports cars from thier mommys and living at home. There is more rice in frederick than the fields of china. Down around DC and Bowie you drive a car with an exhaust you think you are the fastest thing on the block. So I want a sleeper to wip these little punks in a street race. My goal is to beat a fairly modded FD. Mainly my step brother's. He talks a lot of **** though I do all of his work got him into 7s and still living with his mom. This is the plan the for ranger and mazda b trucks are the same. Can it be done? The 13b out of an t2 drop into a ford ranger. I have performance parts out my *** for a t2. So any info would be nice.

I'm not real sure about the similarities/differences between the two trucks.. but if they are about the same.. it should work out.. at least no one will supsect the ranger..

you want a mazda B2200 and the 13BT and TII tranny will fit but you need lots of custom work. judge ito's old truck was RIDICULOUS

I already bought the truck. The ranger has smoother lines than the Mazda plus I want the 13b in a domestic. So when the hicks come up to check the Ford out they are suprised by the power of MAZDA. This is going to take some time but I order the engine yesterday and hey if it wont work out I will just build something else. God I love having family in the salvage and used car buisness.

hey,



I agree that frederick is a rice patty . . . there are so many damn riceburners it sucks.



"16 -20 year olds getting fd and other sports cars from thier mommys and living at home. . ." dont knock on all of us. . .

I do all my own work and spend all MY own money on my car. Not all young owners are asshats that go to riceredi to get a muffler installed on their civic.. . . .



PS i gotta see this truck when you are done with it. . .
