Not sure about the mistu engine. 96 k says to me time for the head to be overhauled and the rings to be changed in the bottom end.

well from what i understand the mazda b2600 used a 2.6L mitsu engine

I think it was 88 when Mazda switched to a G6 engine which is different from the Mistu motor.

[bbokainen]

so if i have a 88 b2600 its not a mistu motor?

Can you put up a picture of the engine in your truck?

I could tell by looking at it.

-Derrick

 

[bbokainen]

[CorkSport]

This is a G6 engine

-Derrick

 

[bbokainen]

[CorkSport]

It is a mitsubishi then.

 

[bbokainen]

[CorkSport]

That would be fun.

 

[bbokainen]

There is a guy local to me who swapped a 4.3L Chev motor and swapped to a 4 Barrell High Rise Carb to avoid wiring issues...
The Truck goes like stink and is more than enough power to move the B Series around

 

[bbokainen]

interesting, I will have to check that out, thanks guys

I have seen the JE 3.0 DOHC V-6 installed into the B-series truck before. That engine would bolt up to the transmission.

There was also a shop in california which put a 20B into a truck as well for a parts hauler.

nice, well even though the 2.6 is a little slow im sure that when you almost double it, they move a little bit
