In What Year Did Mazda Put The 12a Motor On Their Cars?

 

In the US 78 (79 model) thru 1985 but 84 and 85 GSLSE were 13B. All had the same displacement but if you are switching motors, the 79-80 morors interchange but are a more difficult swap into a 81-85 car. The 81-82 are direct swaps and the 83-85 interchange easily. 81 and 82 will go into 83-85 cars fairly easily but the 81-82 clutch has to be used. The 81-82 have a 215mm clutch and the 83-85 have a 225mm.

 

^^^oo very nice car.....are those 15" wheels??

 

Thanks. Yes. They are 3 piece Epsilons. 15x10 rear and 15x8 front. I am hoping that I can find the time soon to install the suspension from a GSLSE that I have so that I can easily update to larger rims. The bolt pattern is SO much easier to match. I can't complain, though. I got them in trade for a 12A turbo block that I had at the time.

 

nosferatu595, that's an awesome looking car, but your sig is way too big. Please resize it smaller or remove it from your sig. If everyone had sigs that big, every thread would be hard to read and not 56k-friendly.
