they even made a few 13b (non turbo) powered buses.

it boggles my mind why you would combine such a heavy chassis with an engine with no bottom end torque.

this topic came up on another forum i'm on, and Ben from J-Spec said the same thing..

that bus with the non turbo 13B was used in a hilly region... how it even got up a hill I'll never know, must have been pretty depressing. Still, only something like 10 of them were ever made so rotary collectors were gaga over it, from memory the seller wanted over a hundred grand.

because GM and mazda had dealings going on back in the 70's and GM 'genoursly' donated a bunch of chassis to mazda, a gift of sorts. thats my understanding of it anyway

u know what i wouldnt mind working the shit outa that 13b in the kingswood making it a nice goer but then its is rare...

[funkymonkey]

buy a regular kingswood and put a 20bTT in it. do it... do it.

yeah 20B would go alright, no lack of torque from them, they make like 450nm or something last time i checked?

ahahha i just wanna see that bus with a maztec (or similar) built 13B, big single, external gate, launching off the transbrake and holding just that little bit of angle (on slicks of course) the entrie way down the 1/4
