Will a 1993 Mazda miata 1.6 liter engine fit in 1992 b2200?

The 1.6-liter engine from a 1993 Mazda Miata will not fit in a 1992 Mazda B2200 without significant modifications. The Miata engine is a transversely-mounted, front-wheel drive engine, while the B2200 is a longitudinally-mounted, rear-wheel drive vehicle. The engine mounts, transmission, and driveshaft would all need to be modified in order to make the Miata engine work in the B2200.

Additionally, the Miata engine is a high-revving, naturally-aspirated engine, while the B2200 is equipped with a lower-revving, turbocharged engine. The Miata engine would likely need to be modified with a turbocharger or supercharger in order to produce enough power to move the heavier B2200.

Overall, it is possible to swap a Miata engine into a B2200, but it would require a significant amount of fabrication and modification. It is not a project that should be undertaken lightly.
