Okay, so first off, sorry if this has been posted before, I looked through the first few pages of this part of the forum and didn't see anything that really helped.



I'm got an '89 Mazda B2200. I've already done most of the work, driveshaft has been shortened already and with just the tranny from the S5 13b turbo bolted in it fits just right, but when I added the engine itself the front sits too high up and is causing the tranny to sit low in the back. So I was looking at it and I need mounts, I've got a good shape for them, but I was wondering if anyone could give me advice before I go spend a bunch of money to have someone CNC some steel. I need to drop the front of the engine about 3 inches to make everything work right. Is there mounts that will work that I can order or do I have to fab them.



If I have to fab them, no big deal, but since I'm keeping the truck in a shop and don't have access to it all the time, does someone have the specs on the 13b mounts? Width, length of the different sections (45 degree angled piece, straight piece, bolt hole diameters, stuff like that) so all I have to do is start drafting them in CAD? The info I've found so far was the NA 13b, and most of them haven't had which series specified.



I heard something about RX3 mounts at one point, but who really knows.



Thanks everyone. I really want to get this done so I have something to drive one I start on my F-100 which is now my daily driver.

You can see what I had to do to get the engine to fit there. The mounts between turbo and non-turbo engines are the same, for 1986-1991.
