Re: '88 Mazda B2200 truck --->13b
The B2200 tranny is an M series while the FD tranny is an R series. There is no interchangability of the tailhousings.
Fabbing a new crossmember shouldnt be a difficult matter. If you were close to me, I could do it in an afternoon, but if not, any competent welder should be able to make something work. Theres not a lot of stress on the trans mount/crossmember.

Re: '88 Mazda B2200 truck --->13b
Ok well I live in haw river north Carolina I have a question and buddy of mine who is really smart when it comes to any kind of motor or anything drag racing related but not on the rotates and neither am I he seems to think that if I do not make a rubber mount for the tranny crossmember that it with crack the tranny seeing how it has rubber mounts for the engine and in the rx7 fd car the tranny member is just a bar that bolts from the tranny to the rear end with no rubber mounts can u tell me if that is true or what I should do about rubber mount and just mounting it straight to a crossmember? Any advice is really apprictated I have been stuck on this for two weeks thanks

Actually rotaries run very smoothly, and get smoother as the rpm's increase. So rubber mounts arent especially important, and I have run solid motor mounts as well as trans mounts on a streetcar with no issues.

I got the crossmember figured out and made now I need to know what mods can I do to this stock fd motor to get more power I have a 3' Megan pipe for it and with it being in the b2200 I have to have a intercooler that is 31.5x12x7 is that going to be too big? Any info would help I just don't want to waste a bunch of money I plan to let this motor give out b4 I do I master rebuild with bigger turbo and polished cases and other things. Thanks

Well I cut my stock mounts off and made my own for the engine and I took and flipped my tranny crossmeber up side down cut the middle out and made a bracket to fit the rx7 tranny and then made it strong and then I had a driveshaft made its a lot of work I also put bags on my truck
