STRUGGLES WITH B2200 LS SWAP

- Hey folks! Several of you asked for some details you could expect to encounter when LS swapping a Mazda B2200 or B2000. I put this quick video together to give an Idea of the major hurdles you will have to deal with. Comment and let me know if this was helpful.
****New or stronger torsion bars are NOT necessary! I Just turned the jacking bolts 3-4 turns, and the truck returned to factory ride height. It rides super good.
Swap that thing! You can't believe how much fun this thing is to drive!

Woo Hoo!! Cracked a thousand views on this one! Thanks for watching everyone! More racing content coming soon!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video you answered all my questions and some I didn't know I needed to ask been a great help.
Thanks for the feedback! I was really hoping that the videos would help some folks out! Stay tuned as we have more fun with this project!
Very informative video
Hey I used s10 header ls swap straight forward on driver side about 1/2" clearance from steering shaft driver side clear about an 1" but it rubs on spark plug wire so I put heat wrap on them with out heat shield
Thanks! I am going to order a set of S-10 headers from Speed Engineering.
Just wanna say thank you sir. You're the man! Can't wait to get my hands on an ls for my 89 b2200. If I may add, what did it cost " ballpark " to get the swap. I plan to go msd with mine and go carbed since the original 4cyl was carbed
Hey Billi. I am working on an updated cost of the project. I will break out just the engine & trans swap cost, then the rear etc. I KNOW it took me 100 hours from the time I took the first bolt out to remove the 4 cyl until the truck was running and driving. I spent about $2000 swapping the motor and trans. Including the $500 I paid for the donor LS powered 1999 Silverado. $400 on exhaust, $250 for the Camaro intake, the rest was spent on headers, motor mounts, fuel system, and the Camaro front engine drive components. More detailed info coming soon!
how long is your driveshaft? 60"?
53-3/8" from u-joint center to u-joint center
Awesome stuff. I have a 5.0 and T5 swap in mine
Your truck as an amazing amount of high quality work! Keep us all posted on your project!
@@KEIFabrication thank you will definitely post updates. When the budget allows for a few parts I need
Wat is a plug n play swap for my b2600i
Actually there isn't a collapsible section within the steering column, recently did an electric steering conversion and the column is nothing more than a solid shaft with bearings at both ends.
Thanks! How do you like the electric power steering? Been thinking of doing that as well or switching to a Miata Rack & Pinion.
@@KEIFabrication Its great but I haven't swapped out the steering box yet, I'm from the Caribbean and we have the nissan versa/tiida parts readily available and that's what I've used. The rack conversion will be the next task.
@@darionherbert8449 Thanks for the information!
How did you go about the electrical system? What modifications did you make?
Did you make use of the LS400 transmission system also?
Its a lot of work lol for a mazda pu myself i couldnt justify it all to end up with it but i gotta say you got skills
Thank you! Not my first choice either, but it is fun, unique, and catches many people off guard!
@@KEIFabrication thats for sure i would never expect a L.S swapped mazda lol how did it do at seekonk speedway ?? Shit ive been out of new england since 89 i was born and raised in rhode island tiverton actually but like i said since 89 been in fla hated the cold weather !!
@@glennmanchester9151 It ran pretty good but I was on street tires and most of the regulars that run there use race tires so I was eliminated by a Gen 4 Camaro with supper soft compound tires. I am working improving on my handling package and will try it again on better tires. I am tired of winter in New England as well.
@@KEIFabrication lol i was tired of new. England winters by the time i was ten and the blizzard of 76 came thru that was pretty bad as i remember it anyway my grandmothers house was about a ten min walk thru.the fields but 4 hours later i arrived worn out lol tjree or 4 ft drifts and then the following winter was pfetty rough too cold wow was it cold i was blessed to have a good family and upbringimg and food to eat and a warm bed every night so i cant bitch for real stay warm up tjere its only January so a long way to go brrrr ill keep watchimg brotjer
How does the factory rear end hold up? I’ll be swapping mine in the near future and thought a 8.8 would be a better option.
The Mazda rear is reportedly good to 300 HP. Mine was pretty worn out so I took it easy on it. I put a narrowed Ford Explorer 8.8 rear in with a 3.73 POSI. Check out the videos here:

Hello how are you doing today ,my name Paul and I'm doing a ls swap into my Mazda truck the B2600si ,i would like to know if you have some of the motor mount brackets you man for your truck for sale.
Good morning Paul and thanks for subscribing! I have the patterns for the motor mounts, and I am getting a quote from a production metal shop on pricing. As soon as I have the information I will forward it to you. If you don't hear from me keep harrassing me because I am super busy but I want to get the motor mounts ready to add to my B series LS swap part offerings.
Thanks again!
What radiator did you use that doesnt have a filler neck so you can keep the factory closed looped setup?
Hey Patrick! Excellent question! The radiator is a generic type aluminum radiator that is designed for the NASCAR late model and sportsman racers. I bought it at a swap meet. The radiator did have the provision for a regular style radiator cap, but it was cut off and a patch was welded in it's place. Without really knowing what I was buying, this one happened to work perfect for the factory LS style expansion tank. A small fitting was also welded into the top of the passenger side tank so I could hook the cylinder head steam vents to. I hope that answers your question!
@@KEIFabrication Thanks I'm collecting parts to start a 5.3/t56 magnum in a cab plus B2200
That should be a great package. You will NOT be disappointed. I left the clutch pedal in mine "just in case" I find a stick shift set up that I can afford. This swap is SO much fun to drive! FYI there are probably better headers out there that the ones I chose. I had minor fitment issues with mine but there is really a lot of room for other styles. I would investigate S-10 headers or center dump style (for non turbo situations).
I cant wait to drive it. Its gonna be a couple years down the road though. I'm about to order some speed engineering long tubes for a ls swap first gen Camaro I think there gonna fit but who knows untill it's all in there.
If there is anything I can help you with let me know, and keep me updated on the progress!
How did you make your driveshaft work. Using the stock mazda rear?
I cut the back end of the Mazda driveshaft tube and slipped it inside a mid 90's 1/2 ton Chevy truck driveshaft tube.
I welded the two together with it bolted into the truck, checking run-out with a dial indicator as I welded it.
My buddies doing a similar project, he's wanting to put the supercharged 302 from his 86 mustang into his 91 b2200. He's wondering about an available k member? Or did you fabricate it yourself to fit the LS? Any help on it would be very appreciated!
I custom fabricated mine. If the 302 is a rear sump oil pan, it will not be hard to make up a cross member.
@KEIFabrication ok cool ty for the reply man I'll pass that on to him.might hit you up on it again lol.were gonna do a full frame off custom resto on the truck,I'll be posting vids of all the work
@@bullfrogzbodyshop looking forward to seeing it! If I can help, just ask.
@@KEIFabrication ok great ty much
@@KEIFabrication looks like he's decided to go with a gen 2 coyote now.
If I buy a donor can I directly swap everything form that into this and good to go?
Pretty much.
KEI Fabrication sweet thanks
Hey we what you use for motor mounts thanks
Hey man, Thanks for checking out my video. If you watch the LS SWAP ISSUES video, at about 9:52 I show the ebay add I bought the mounts from, and the modifications I had to do to make them work.
Thanks for replying am thinking about a swap also but how about crossmember any modifications thanks
