It's a very strange feeling to build a petrol engine for a bakkie originally diesel-powered, but that's what I'm gonna do right now. Just a few people can wholeheartedly tell they enjoy a Mazda R2 with its 64hp rating into a B2200, and even less ones would be confident to boost it when they want more power instead of trading it for something more powerful. Well, it was about time to get the tired unit out of a '93 Mazda overhauled after 20 years and some 600,000km of good services, but the owner turned out with a quite surprisingly idea to drop a Ford Cologne V6 with a freshly re-sleeved block, a pair of Weber 450cfm 2-bbl carburators with spring-activated 2nd stage instead of the vacuum-activated setup, and a distributorless electronic ignition. Crankcase breathers might be open instead of PCV-ported. I was expecting to just refurbish the old R2, but sometimes things go another way.
