I have posted a legitimate question/concern regarding an engine swap that I am in the middle of. Why has nobody responded or offered any advice. I see other people's questions getting answered and them receiving some good advice.

My choice would be going to a ford 9" type rear end...that way you would be able to swap gears if you had the incorrect ratio. The ford 9" is a very easy to find rear end and has alot of different gear-sets to offer, plus it would handle the hp/torque alot better than the b2200 rear end. The b2200 rear ends were never good for anything much over 200 hp

For the engine swap, use a Ford 9-inch rear end instead of the B2200 rear end. It is widely available, offers many gear sets so the ratio can be changed if needed, and handles horsepower and torque better. B2200 rear ends are not well suited for much over 200 hp.

Conversation Summary

A Mazda owner complained that an engine-swap question had received no replies. The expert recommended a Ford 9-inch rear end rather than the B2200 rear end, citing easier gear changes, parts availability, and better strength above about 200 hp.
