Hello, Theres a 86 Mazda b2000 pickup for sale here that doesn''t run and when trying to start it, you can deffinatly hear something major wrong in the bottom end of the engine. I guess my question is, being that the truck is really only worth about 900 bucks running, I would think that it would cost more to rebuild, than to buy another complete motor and just put it in? Also on my very limited search for how much parts would cost to rebuild, I noticed alot of times fords and 626''s were listed as using the same parts. Can you tell me what other motors or cars motors that would mount up to the 5 speed that is currently in this truck? Sam

 

Optional Information:
1986 Mazda b2000 2.0

I'm really just looking for the list of motors that will bolt right up to the mounts and transmission in this truck.
